QUETTA: Young Doctors Association(YDA) have announced to boycott the Out Patient Departments (OPD) and indoor medical services at the government hospitals in Quetta to protest against the arrest of doctors by police.
The YDA said they were staging a peaceful protest in the red zone to demand the supply of amenities in the province’s government hospitals when the police detained 19 doctors. The doctors who were protesting were arrested yesterday in defiance of court orders. YDA has boycotted the OPD and medical services in the hospitals for the second time. The services were last suspended approximately two months ago.
Meanwhile, Sardar Abdur Rehman Khetran said that the government is willing to resolve the issues through negotiations. He called the YDA’s decision to boycott medical services “irresponsible.” He further said, “However, if the doctors protest what is beyond our jurisdiction or authority, we will respond strictly to the inconvenience [the doctors are causing]”.
