The strike of doctors and other paramedical staff has entered 39th day in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, resulting of great suffering for poor patients coming to Peshawar from far flung districts for treatment.
The pain and mental agony of patients continued in Peshawar due to the prolong strike of the Grand Health Alliance including doctors and laboratory staff protesting against health reforms in KP.
On Friday, the patients who came from remote districts suffered great problems in Government hospitals including Lady Reading Hospital, Khyber Teaching Hospital and Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar where OPDs services were suspected for the last 39 days and only emergency services were being provided to patients.
The extended strike has forced many poor patients to visit private hospitals and clinics where they were being charged heavily.
