QUETTA: Patients seeking treatment at the out-patient departments of the Civil Hospital and the Bolan Medical Complex continued to suffer as the Young Doctors Association’s (YDA) strike entered second day on Tuesday.
The young doctors along with the paramedical staff of public hospitals are staging a protest seeking monthly allowance of post-graduates and provision of adequate facilities.
While addressing a news conference Monday night, YDA Balochistan President Dr Yasir Khosti remarked that the government is victimising doctors instead of paying heed to their demands.
He claimed that false cases were being registered against doctors. “If any doctor is arrested, then we will shut down all the hospitals across the city.”
Khosti was speaking at the doctor’s protest camp set up at Civil Hospital Quetta. “We are protesting peacefully. No OPDs, wards or emergency units have been closed.” He remarked that the doctors condemned the false cases registered against members of YDA and Pakistan Paramedical Staff Federation.
