Islamabad : The patients turning up the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) have been facing great hardship due to deletion of their computer record.
The sources said that record of over 5,000 patients who turned up at PIMS particularly at Out Patient Department (OPD) do not have their computer record with hospital. “The record has been deleted due to overloaded server which stopped accepting more data,” an official of PIMS told ‘The News’.
