Over 1,000 soldiers deployed in hospitals
More than 1,000 soldiers have been deployed in state run hospitals to assist medical authorities to maintain services after health workers resumed a strike today morning.
The health workers commenced an indefinite strike from 6.30 a.m. after their talks with the government failed.
Army Spokesman said that so far 1,200 soldiers have been deployed in hospitals.
Hospital services have been affected due to the strike and several clinics have been cancelled.
Paramedics and supplemental medical are demanding that Disturbance, Availability, and Transport (DAT) allowance be increased at the same amount as Doctors’ allowance, which was raised by Rs. 35,000 earlier this year.
