BANNU, Jun 15 (DNA): Young doctors’ ire in Bannu shows no sign of
cooling down as all the departments, barring emergency, at city’s all
three MTI hospitals were closed on Wednesday and the doctors
relinquished all their additional charges and resigned.
Not only that, the doctors also closed their private clinics as a part
of their ongoing strike.
Talking to the media, doctors said that neither there were facilities
for them at hospitals nor medicines for the patients. They said that
patients had to go outside the hospital for buying medicines as well as
for their medical tests.
They further said that the Board of Governors (BoG) had those persons as
its members who did not have any knowledge of the health issues nor were
they informed about the problems confronting the patients at hospitals.
The BoG, instead of spending money on the purchase of machinery for
hospitals, wastes it on buying unnecessary items, they said, adding that
whenever they raised their voice over that they were dubbed as
‘problematic’ by the authorities and victimized.
The doctors made it clear that they would not call off their strike
until and unless the BoG was dissolved.
