Doctors in Balochistan boycotted work at OPDs of all government hospitals for the 29th consecutive day on Wednesday, demanding the recovery of their abducted colleague Dr Saeed Ahmed Khan. The general operation theatres were also closed .The strike is being observed on the call of the Pakistan Medical Association (Balochistan). According to the PMA, the strike will continue until Dr Khan was recovered. The provincial government has failed to make any headway in the recovery of the abducted doctor, an eye specialist and head of LRBT Hospital, who was kidnapped on October 16 from Saryab Road in Quetta. Patients coming from far-flung areas of the province have been facing a lot of trouble due to the doctors’ strike.
