Islamabad: Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has threatened to expand the doctors’ strike from Balochistan to the rest of the hospitals across Pakistan.
Talking to media, Dr. Azhar Khan said that the government should take serious notice of the difficulties faced by doctors in the insurgency-hit province.
“The non-serious behaviour of government is forcing doctors to expand their strike across Pakistan,” he added.
The senior and young doctors across Balochistan are observing a strike against the abductions of doctors. Dr Saeed Ahmed Khan, an ophthalmologist, who was abducted 43 days ago, was recovered after payment of heavy ransom Wednesday
Dr Saeed Ahmed Khan’s release raised hopes that a strike by doctors across the province would come to an end, but subsequent developments dampened the optimism as doctors continued their strike in Balochistan Thursday.
In response, the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) Balochistan vowed to continue strike across government-run hospitals in the province until their demands are fulfilled.
