The most recent development in the Peshawar Institute of Cardiology theft scandal reveals that medical supplies worth Rs45 million were stolen from the hospital's central store, as reported by multiple sources including ProPakistani and ARY News. The theft was discovered during a routine stock verification, which uncovered the disappearance of high-value items such as cardiac stents and disposable devices used in angioplasty procedures. The hospital management has taken swift action by suspending and arresting four store employees, who have been handed over to the police. Hospital spokesperson Rafaqat Anjum confirmed the arrests and assured that 'hospital operations and patient care services remain unaffected despite the incident,' as noted by ProPakistani. An inquiry committee has been formed to investigate the matter, and authorities are exploring the possibility of additional staff or external networks being involved in the theft.
