NICH doctors boycott OPD

They also demand that doctors be provided separate room and security

KARACHI:

Doctors at the National Institute of Child Health (NICH) on Wednesday lodged their protest against nonacceptance of their demands and boycotted the outpatient department (OPD).

The protesting doctors demanded transparent posting of doctors, supply of required medicines, fixing of MRI machine, which is malfunctioning since long. They also demand that doctors should be provided separate room and security.

The Young Nurses Association Sindh supported the protest of young doctors and condemned the threats by professors to the Young Doctors Association (YDA). The association, urging the administration to accept the legitimate demands of young doctors, said that nurses in NICH should also be given their due rights otherwise they would be forced to join protesting doctors.
