Paramedics Strike: MS wants police to control situation

PA leaders are boycotting work and are forcing other employees to boycott work as well.

LARKANA: The Chandka Medical College Hosptial, Larkana, Medical Superintendent has asked for law-enforcement officials to be deployed at the hospital to handle the paramedics’ strike.

He sent the DPO a letter in which he said that certain members of the Paramedics Association (PA) have locked up OPDs, laboratories and operation theatres.

The so-called PA leaders are boycotting work and are disrupting patient care. Even emergency rooms and oxygen distribution facilities have been blocked. They are forcing other employees to boycott work as well — even sanitation workers have stopped cleaning the hospital.
