QUETTA
\nGrand Heal\u00ad\u00adth Alliance Balochistan staged a rally on Saturday against a plan to privatise government hospitals in the provincial capital. A large number of government hospital employees, including paramedics and nurses, gathered in the Civil Hospital and ma\u00ad\u00adr\u00ad\u00adched on the main roads and streets of Quetta.
\nThe alliance leaders Salam Zehri, Jamal Shah Kakar, Haji Shafaa Men\u00adgal, Lala Sultan and others addressed the protesters. They said that instead of ensuring the provision of facilities in hospitals, the government is planning to privatise them.
\nThe protesters chanted slogans against the government and criticised the plan. The protesters deman\u00added the removal of Balo\u00adch\u00adistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti and decla\u00adred him \u201cincompetent\u201d.
\nThey said instead of giving hospitals into private ownership, their conditions should be improved so that free healthcare can be made available to people.
\nThey vowed to resist the privatisation and deman\u00added the government to reconsider its decision.
\nThey also claimed that they met with the pro-vincial health secretary to discuss the issue and informed the authorities of their stance and reservations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
