QUETTA: The out-patient departments (OPDs) of public hospitals in the city resumed working after a week of protests.
This happened after the Young Doctors’ Association (YDA) was assured by the authorities that their demands will be met. The protesting camp of the doctors is still present at Civil Hospital Quetta.
On March 12, young doctors along with the paramedical staff of public hospitals staged a protest over issues such as the monthly allowance of post-graduates and provision of adequate facilities.
While addressing a news conference, YDA Balochistan President Dr Yasir Khosti had remarked that the government is victimising doctors instead of paying heed to their demands.
He had claimed that false cases are being registered against doctors. “If any doctor is arrested, we will shut down all the hospitals across the city.”
He had remarked that the doctors condemn the false cases registered against members of YDA and Pakistan Paramedical Staff Federation.
