of the view that the government had failed to provide security to the doctors’ community. He said, ‘The doctors are feeling insecure in the wake of growing incidents of kidnapping for ransom and killings’.

Accompanied by Dr. Gulab Noor Afridi and other leaders of the doctor community, Dr. Alamgir said that they had time and again asked the administration of medical teaching hospitals to make proper security arrangements for them
but their please had fell on deaf ears.

has planned to establish VVIP treatment centre (Bacha Khan Block) at the Lady Reading Hospital and has demolished the hostel for female doctors who were now compelled to reside in the male’s hostels’.
