NICH executive director requests Rangers picket
Move came while doctors and others staff at the NICH continued to protest
National Institute of Child Health executive director Professor Jamal Raza requested the Sindh Rangers director general on Tuesday to set up a picket on the hospital premises.
The move came while doctors and others staff at the NICH continued to protest for the second consecutive day the assault they had been subjected to by the family of an infant girl who died at the health facility.
With respect to the protesting doctors’ demand of hiring the services of a new security company for the hospital, Prof Raza said the facility had signed a contract with a new security company and the number of guards at the hospital had also been increased.
