QUETTA: Doctors boycotted Outpatient departments (OPDs) in all state and private hospitals across Balochistan, as the strike against the abduction of Dr Saeed Khan continued on Tuesday. All hospitals in the provincial capital and across Balochistan remained closed, including emergency services, multiplying the miseries of the patients. The Bolan Medical Complex and Civil Hospital Quetta, where patients turn up from all across the province and also from neighbouring Afghanistan come for medical aid, was deserted as not only the doctors but also the paramedical staff refused to report for duty.
