Balochistan doctors threaten to shut hospitals
QUETTA: The Young Doctors Association (YDA) and PMA Balochistan have declared that government and private hospitals in the province will be closed for indefinite period following the manhandling and arrests of doctors by the police on Tuesday, Geo News reported.
The YDA said if the arrested doctors were not released and the concerned policemen were not held, then they would also close the emergency wards of hospitals from Wednesday.
The call came after police used aerial firing and tear gas to prevent members of the YDA from staging a sit-in protest outside the Chief Minister’s House. According to the YDA, 20 doctors were injured, while 100 others were arrested.
