Starting with the Assistant Professor/Consultant roles. The specialties listed are Adolescent Paediatric, Paeds Neonatology, Paeds Critical Care, Paeds Infectious Diseases, Infectious Diseases, Accident & Emergency, and Psychiatry. The qualifications mention PMDC requirements. I should note that PMDC is now called PMC (Pakistan Medical Commission), so maybe that's a typo or outdated term. Candidates for these positions would need to meet the PMC's criteria, which typically include advanced degrees like FCPS, MRCP, or equivalent, along with teaching and clinical experience.

Next, Senior Registrar positions in Radiology, Accident & Emergency, and Anaesthesiology require FCPS in the relevant subject. FCPS stands for Fellowship of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which is a postgraduate qualification in Pakistan. So, for Senior Registrar roles, they need this fellowship completed.

Then there's the Registrar position in Anaesthesiology requiring MCPS. MCPS is a Member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which is a step below FCPS. So MCPS qualified means they've completed that membership.

Sr. Medical Officer in Anaesthesiology has two pathways: MBBS with 4-5 years experience or completed FCPS training. That's interesting because it allows for either experience or formal qualification. So even if someone hasn't completed FCPS but has the training done, they might still qualify.

Administrative positions include Sr. Manager/Manager Quality Assurance, Manager Marketing, Unit Head Clinical Nursing, Senior Lecturer College of Nursing, and Staff Nurse. For these, especially the nursing roles, I wonder what specific qualifications are needed. Staff Nurse might require a nursing diploma or degree, but the job listing doesn't specify here. The Senior Lecturer in Nursing would likely need a Master's in Nursing or similar, plus teaching experience.

The last date to apply is February 10, 2025. That's quite far in the future, over a year from now. Maybe the listing is for a future recruitment cycle or there's a typo in the year. Applications are online through their website.

I need to make sure I categorize each position correctly, list the qualifications, and note the application deadline. Also, the hospital is a tertiary care center with 700 beds, which is significant. They emphasize post-graduate training and fellowships, so these positions are likely part of academic faculty as well as clinical roles.

Wait, under Assistant Professor/Consultant, the first four are all pediatric subspecialties. It's listed as Adolescent Paediatric, which might be Adolescent Medicine within Pediatrics. Then Paeds Neonatology (Neonatology), Paeds Critical Care (PICU), Paeds Infectious Diseases. Then separate Infectious Diseases, which could be for adults. Accident & Emergency and Psychiatry are separate.

For Senior Registrars, the specialties are Radiology, Accident & Emergency, and Anaesthesiology. The required FCPS would be in those specific fields. Then Registrar in Anaesthesiology needs MCPS in Anaes.

Sr. Medical Officer in Anaes: MBBS with 4-5 years experience or FCPS training completed. So even if they haven't passed the FCPS exams but completed the training, they might be eligible. Or does "FCPS training completed" mean they have the fellowship? Need to clarify that. Usually, completing FCPS training means they've done the required residency and exams, so they would have the FCPS qualification. But the way it's written here is a bit confusing. It says "FCPS training completed in Anaesthesiology." Maybe it's for those who have finished their training period but haven't yet obtained the FCPS certification, but that's not standard. Alternatively, it could mean they have the FCPS.

The Administrative Positions: Sr. Manager/Manager Quality Assurance. Quality Assurance roles in hospitals usually require experience in healthcare quality, maybe a Master's in Healthcare Administration or similar. Manager Marketing would need a marketing background, perhaps in healthcare marketing. Unit Head, Clinical Nursing would require a senior nursing role with management experience. Senior Lecturer in Nursing needs academic qualifications, like a Master's in Nursing and teaching experience. Staff Nurse would need a nursing diploma or degree and registration with the nursing council.

Staff Nurse's requirements aren't specified here, but typically in Pakistan, it's a diploma in nursing (RN) or a BSc Nursing.

The application is online, and the last date is 2025, which seems far. Maybe it's a placeholder date or a mistake. But assuming it's correct, applicants have until then to apply.

I need to present all this information in a clear, structured format, possibly using bullet points and sections for each job category, detailing positions, departments, qualifications, and application details. Also, mention the hospital's background briefly.
