GILGIT: Chief Secretary Gilgit Baltistan Muhiudeen Wani said that the process to fill the gap of consultant positions in different headquarter hospitals in GB, which were vacant for years due to unattractive salaries and lack of human resource in Gilgit-Baltistan has started now.

Foundation, one of the top medical professional institutions has won this project. CS GB added that on Monday they will be offered an agreement to provide top consultants to the Gilgit-Baltistan government and these consultants will be hired, controlled and monitored by Al Shifa Intl. Foundation and the provincial govt will be funding agencies for these consultant doctors through GBRSP.
