BHARA KAHU: Non gazetted employees of grade 1 to 15 from DHO Office and District Family Health Office (DFHO) Islamabad have voiced a strong protest over the stoppage of the payment of health al
lowance to them.
Ministry of Capital Administration and Development Division had stopped the payment of health office employe
es through a notification. This al
lowance is pa
id to lower grade employees including lady health workers, male health workers and vaccinators who perform the duties in polio and anti-dengue campaigns.
The health department’s low cadre employees, working in Bhara Kahu said that they work in rural and remote areas to provide medical facilities to the ma
sses but Ministry of CADD has deprived them of health al
lowance.
They were of the opinion that this move was unfair and tyrannical which had been taken by a democratic government. They appealed to CADD Minister Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry to restore the al
lowance forthwith to mitigate their financ
ial woes.
