Patients continue to suffer as the strike of doctors, paramedics, nursing staff and low-level non-technical staff, under the aegis of Grand Health Alliance, on Friday entered the 16th consecutive day in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The provincial government has failed to resolve the ongoing crisis created by the continuous strike of the Grand Health Alliance.
Meanwhile, the protesting doctors have refused to enter talks with the provincial government until the fulfillment of their demands, including withdrawal of decision of privatisation of healthcare units, removal of Health Minister from his post and release of detained GHA members. All the doctors, paramedics and nursing staff have stopped attending their duties in their respective hospitals.
Patients have been undergoing severe difficulties and criticised doctors and government for the standoff and blamed their misery on both.
