She claimed that nurses in Balochistan were deprived of a service structure, risk allowance and other basic facilities. She said skilled nurses were moving to other provinces because of this situation.
“In this regard, the provincial government should take steps for resolving the legal issues of nurses and provide relief to them,” she demanded.
Parveen also announced the formation of a panel to address problems of young nurses, including Balochistan YNA President Nayah Mushtaq and Vice President Kamran Shafiq.
