SUKKUR: Doctors and health workers on Tuesday staged a protest at Ghulam Mohammad Mahar Medical College Hospital (GMC) against the “FIR” lodged against professors, doctors, and paramedical staff of the pediatric department at GMC Sukkur.
The meeting and subsequent protest was held in the final year lecture hall of the GMC Sukkur.
Faculty members, doctors, members, and officials of the SMBB teachers association, Pakistan Medical Association, Young Consultant Association, Young Doctors’ Association, Pakistan Nursing Association, and Young Nurse’s Association were present at the occasion.
Office holders lashed out at the police and the government, demanding the retraction “FIR” because the medical staff had no hand in the kidnapping of a child from the hospital.
“Police are trying to rescue themselves by blaming the medical staff,” they said.
The protestors vowed that all of the hospital’s facilities, excluding the emergency room, would remain closed until the FIR issue is resolved.
