HYDERABAD: Health services in Outdoor Patient Departments (OPDs) and medical wards of the government hospitals remained suspended on Friday for the third consecutive day as the doctors continued their strike. The boycott was called by Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) and Young Doctors Alliance (YDA) Sindh to push the Sindh government to accept their demands. A number of patients returned from the hospitals including Liaquat University Hospital, Bhitai Hospital, Qasimabad Hospital, Paretabad Hospital and others without receiving health treatment. The doctors also boycotted the operation theatres in all the government hospitals. He said a delegation of PMA and YDA met the provincial health minister and health secretary last month after their 4-day boycott.
