She claimed that certain doctors and officials had pressured her, but she continued performing her duties.<br \/>\nThe nurse alleged that she was being targeted because she had raised concerns regarding alleged unauthorised private procedures and other matters in the unit. She also levelled serious allegations regarding the handling of placentas and premature stillborn babies, demanding an impartial investigation into the matter.<br \/>\nShe said several inquiries had been initiated against her and claimed that she was transferred despite approaching the court, which, according to her, granted her relief through a stay order. She alleged that hospital administration had not implemented the court\u2019s directions.<br \/>\nMs Naz further claimed that she had also faced financial difficulties as her salary had remained withheld for several months. She demanded intervention by Chief for an inquiry into the affairs of the gynaecology unit and protection for female staff members who, she claimed Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi, the Peshawar High Court chief justice, chief secretary and health minister for justice and restoration of her salary.<br \/>\nShe appealed for an inquiry into the affairs of the gynaecology unit and protection for female staff members who, she claimed, were reluctant to speak out due to fear of harassment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR A charge nurse at Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC) has alleged harassment and administrative irregularities in the hospital\u2019s gynaecology unit, demanding a transparent investigation into the matter and protection for staff members who, she claimed, were facing pressure for raising concerns.
