General healthcare services like patients seen in outpatient departments and those admitted to inpatient departments of these hospitals include totals of over 60,000
OPDs and over 5000 IPDs.
However, there has been a slight increase in the prices for medical tests at
OPDs in public hospitals, he maintained.
Various medical departments including
OPDs, general Operation Theaters remained closed for patients due to the strike,
Doctors were on strike for last 6 days and all
OPDs were closed that's why patents faced hurdles
The Young Doctors' Association has halted services in
OPDs to oppose government health policy, showing utter indifference to public suffering.
However,
OPDs at Khyber Teaching Hospital, Hayatabad Medical Complex and other hospitals would remain closed as part of the strike.
'Full-proof security will be provided to those doctors who intend to serve patients in hospitals,' he said, adding that law enforcement personnel will be deployed heavily around the
OPDs.
Youth President-General of Kolokolo community, Comrade Sunny Etchi, at the ongoing peaceful protest along the Benin river, alleged that operatives of
OPDS have concluded plans to invade venue of the protesters.
The YDA had vowed that strike at
OPDs would continue till the acceptance of their demands, however following the suicide attack at Data Darbar the YDA has called off strike.
Though the government continued providing services at
OPDs with the help of consultants and administrative doctors, visiting patients were the ultimate sufferers of thin attendance of healthcare providers.
Patients thronged to the emergency department to seek medical services as
OPDs were closed.
Already implemented and deployed across a range of
OPDS products, Owl's solution is interoperable with a number of industrial control vendors, and is currently protecting hundreds of plants and industrial facilities globally.
