ISLAMABAD:
The doctors and paramedical staff of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) staged a sit-in at D-Chowk against the implementation of the Medical Teaching Institute (MTI) Act at the public hospital.
The protesters claim that the Act, which allows private practice in evening to consultants and charges for various laboratory and radiological tests, was akin to the privatisation of the capital’s largest tertiary hospital that otherwise offers free healthcare.
