Disciplinary committees of such hospitals too are unable to do much for victims
KARACHI: Two days ago a woman attending her ailing son was raped by one of the staff members at a hospital in Lahore. This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred within the premises of a government hospital. Attendants are also harassed at hospitals.
The disciplinary committees of such hospitals too are unable to do much for victims. Proper action is taken only when incidents manage to grab the attention of the higher-ups. The government must do the needful as the common people cannot take concrete action against erring hospital staff.
