The Balochistan government has established anti-harassment cells in the district headquarters hospitals of 34 districts and major government hospitals in Quetta to deal with harassment issues in the province.
The provincial government has issued instructions to the heads of the newly established anti-harassment cell to issue immediate medical reports of incidents at the local level instead of transferring suspected deaths and victims of attacks to hospitals in Quetta.
It will also work to eliminate such cases and enable the government to resolve their issues without delay, a news release said.
According to the notification of the Balochistan Health Department, these cells have been established under the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act 2021 whereas Police surgeons and medical legal officers have been also appointed in these special cells.
