Ammar Medical Complex (AMC), located in a populated city area, is a large-size hospital with facilities of general, semi-private and private wards, besides a busy outpatient department. AMC is a fully equipped hospital with several operating theatres, a modern laboratory and other ancillary equipments. AMC has on its payroll renowned specialists/consultants, besides supporting staff consisting of junior doctors, qualified nurses, trainee nurses, lab technicians, receptionists and other staff. The Hospital enjoys a good reputation because of the competence, caring attitude and dedication of its human resources who function as a coordinated and motivated team. Both the specialists and the supporting staff are well aware of the fact that their close team effort and co-operation are critical for rendering efficient health-care services to the patients. However, in the past 12 months, AMC has experienced an unusual phenomenon as some of the most competent specialists/consultants have submitted their resignations because they have received lucrative offers from the middle-eastern countries. In order to retain and recruit more qualified specialists, AMC management has decided to increase, across the board, basic salaries of the specialists/consultants by 30 per cent. The support staff, which can be recruited with comparative ease, would receive an increase of 5 per cent in line with the current rate of inflation.
