The National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital has resumed services after a 17-day disruption due to clashes between a group of patients injured during the July Uprising and hospital staff. Four others are still in the hospital, three of whom are ready to be discharged and may come for follow-up from home, while one remains in hospital care. “Some of the people involved in the previous unrest are stationed outside the hospital, occasionally interfering with operations,” Alam said. The hospital exaggerated a minor incident and labelled us as villains.”All services in the hospital were suspended on May 28 after hospital staff went on strike. While emergency care resumed on Jun 5, full operations had remained halted until now.
