Although the Health Authorities show their willingness to combat fraud and corruption
in the Health sector including the Ministry Of Health ,appointing a medical officer involved in corrupt activites in large scale within the Health Sector during previous regime to an highly responsible post of Deputy Director General Of Laboratory Services puzzled many Health Officials in the Ministry itself it has been reported.
