The decision marks the culmination of a two-year legal and administrative process, strongly backed by Dr. Saif-ur-Rehman, who described the appointment as a personal and institutional milestone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"593\" data-end=\"1059\">Speaking to the media, Dr. Saif-ur-Rehman expressed deep satisfaction with the court&#8217;s decision and congratulated Dr. Sikandar and the entire PIMS staff on securing regular leadership at the capital&#8217;s largest public hospital. He recounted his efforts in pursuing this cause through the Islamabad High Court, which eventually led to the convening of the Central Selection Board (CSB) and the issuance of a final notification that has now received judicial validation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1431\">\u201cThis is a major success not only for me but for the entire healthcare system of Islamabad,\u201d said Dr. Saif. \u201cIt is a proud moment in my career to have played a role in institutionalizing leadership at PIMS. The appointment of a regular executive director is vital for consistent patient care, administrative continuity, and long-term development of healthcare services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1694\">He further emphasized that his support for due process and transparency was the driving force behind the petition, and that this outcome would help ensure stability and improved medical service delivery in one of Pakistan\u2019s most crucial healthcare institutions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"2009\">Dr. Rana Imran Sikandar\u2019s endorsement by the court reinforces his position and is expected to bring much-needed administrative certainty to PIMS, which has faced leadership challenges in recent years. The move is also seen as a positive signal for future reforms and governance across federal health institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: In a significant development for healthcare governance, the Islamabad High Court has formally endorsed the appointment of Dr. Rana Imran Sikandar as the regular Executive Director of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS).
