Doctors on Thursday went on strike in government hospitals across Balochistan in protest against their senior colleague’s kidnapping from Quetta.
Cardiologist Dr. Munaf Tareen was abducted in the city three days back when he was en route back to his residence from his private hospital at Pishin Stop. The abductors, opening aerial gunfire, took him away on board along with his vehicle.
Medic associated with Young Doctors Association (Balochistan Chapter) boycotted today and refused to performed their duties in Quetta civil hospital, Bolan Medical Complex hospital, Fatima Jinnah hospital and other hospitals across the restive province, leaving patients suffering.
However, emergency services were available in the hospitals.
