Baloch­istan health staff tally of Covid-19 reache­s 98QUETTA: Healthcare professionals and staffers continue to be in harm’s way as the provincial tally of doctors diagnosed with coronavirus reached 59 in Balochistan. Balochistan witnessed a massive rise in Covid-19 cases, as healthcare protectors are also among the most affected by the virus. Initial talks between the doctors and provincial ministers failed as doctors demanded stern action against those involved in the incident. The decision was taken after provincial ministers assured the protesting doctors that all their concerns would be addressed soon. YDA President Dr Yasir Achakzai maintained that the protesting doctors were raising legitimate demands, but failed to get attention of the authorities concerned.
