Challenges at Wazirabad Cardiology Institute After Dr. Tipu Khan's Retirement

The retirement of Dr. Tipu Khan has led to major challenges at Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology, Wazirabad, with heart patients facing long delays and a shortage of skilled doctors. Citizens demand action to restore healthcare services.

Concerns After Dr. Tipu Khan’s Retirement

After the retirement of the capable Dr. Tipu Khan, who served at Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology in Wazirabad, patients have been facing difficulties in heart surgeries and treatment. Dr. Tipu Khan was a dedicated doctor who had earned the trust of his patients, and his absence is now being felt deeply in the community.  

Shortage of Professional Doctors and Staff

Due to the shortage of professional doctors and adequate staff, patients requiring surgeries like angiography and bypass are encountering severe issues. Patients coming from distant areas are being sent away with long waiting dates. Previously, patients requiring bypass surgeries had to wait up to a year for treatment, and after Dr. Tipu Khan’s retirement, the surgery department was shut down. This has left the surgical team idle, causing frustration among patients.

Failure of Punjab Government’s Healthcare Plan

The Punjab government’s plan to deliver medications to heart patients at their doorstep seems to be failing, and the situation is worsening. Despite a project worth billions of rupees, citizens are still deprived of satisfactory healthcare facilities. After Dr. Tipu Khan’s retirement, the quality of care has significantly dropped, causing great distress to the residents.  

Public Call for Action

The citizens have expressed serious concerns about the lack of proper healthcare services at the institute. They are urging the Punjab government to extend Dr. Tipu Khan’s services and ensure the availability of more skilled, compassionate doctors at the hospital. They believe that his return could restore some balance to the facility and help meet the growing demand for heart treatments.
