Three children died on Thursday at National Institute of Child Health due to unavailability of basic treatment providers, ie nursing staff. Dozens of nurses and nursing students of Sindh are protesting for an increase in their pay and other perks. The doctors have also announced their support with the nurses.
People coming from far areas for treatment have been neglected due to the current scenario. "We are compelled to send the patients to other private hospitals due to the unavailability of the paramedical staff," said a doctor. On March 28, the protesters faced resistance from the law enforcement officers as they tried to forcefully enter the Governor House. The police used batons and water cannons on the protesting nurses for violating the red zone protocol, leaving several nurses injured.
