MTI Ordinance doesn’t mean to privatise govt hospitals: PM

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the Medical Teaching Institutions (MTI) Ordinance would not change the status of the government hospitals, neither would it mean to privatise them.

In a tweet, the prime minister said the Ordinance did not mean privatisation, but part of the government’s reforms for public sector hospitals.

“This [MIT Ordinance] would ensure an improved and modern management [in the hospitals],” he said.
