ISLAMABAD: Dr. Muhammad Salman has been removed from his position as the Executive Director of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), according to sources from the Ministry of Health. Following his dismissal, Professor Tanveer Khalique, currently the Vice Chancellor of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto University, has been appointed as the interim Executive Director.

The decision to remove Dr. Salman comes amid ongoing discussions regarding the management and operational efficiency of PIMS, a key healthcare institution in the capital. Officials have not disclosed the specific reasons for his removal, but it is believed to be part of a broader effort to enhance healthcare services in the region.

This leadership change at PIMS raises questions about the future direction of the institution, which plays a crucial role in providing medical services to the public. Stakeholders in the healthcare sector are keenly observing how this transition will affect patient care and administrative practices at PIMS.

In the coming days, it is expected that the Ministry of Health will outline further steps regarding the restructuring of PIMS and any additional appointments that may be necessary to stabilize the institution’s leadership.
