The staff of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases have boycotted the hospital services and observed a strike in favour of their demands.
The protesting employees chanted slogans in favour of their demands after boycotting the services, causing problems for the patients and their caretakers.
They demanded of the authorities to release their health risk allowance and professional health allowance that has been withheld for the last 14 months.
We have been risking our lives in the pandemic to treat the patients, but the government has not released our allowances, the protesting NICVD employees said.
They also demanded the provision of health insurance cards and promotion on merit.
