The score of patients visiting the Outpatient Department (OPD) of the Hospital were denied healthcare services on Saturday, as the doctors and staff boycotted their duties, demanding increase of their salaries. The OPD services of Sindh children hospital remai
ned suspended for hours.
The hospital sources told PPI that the boycott call was given by the doctors and paramedi
cal staff against a non-governmental organisation fo
r delaying the increase in their salaries. However, the emergency department of hospital remained functional during doctors’ protest.
The boycott of doctors caused great inconvenience to the visiting patients, especially those who came from the far-off areas. They returned home without their check-ups and diagnostic tests.Medical Superintendent, Sindh Government Children Hospital, Dr Asif Z
