Dr Mahnoor acid case sparks crisis as 23 doctors suspended in Balochistan

The Dr Mah Noor acid case has triggered strong reactions across the province, leading to demonstrations by Balochistan young doctors in several government hospitals.

The medical community has been demanding a transparent investigation and swift justice for the victim.

In response to the doctors strike Balochistan, the provincial Health Department took disciplinary action and announced that 23 doctors suspended for participating in the protest. Officials also issued show-cause notices to 25 doctors involved in the demonstrations.

The department further confirmed that the training of four postgraduate medical students has been suspended due to their participation in activities related to the doctors strike Balochistan. Formal notifications have already been issued by the authorities.

Meanwhile, Balochistan young doctors continue their protest and insist that the focus should remain on the Dr Mah Noor acid case rather than administrative action against healthcare workers. Protest leaders say they will continue raising their voice until justice is served.

The decision to have 23 doctors suspended has intensified tensions between the government and the medical community.

They argue that discussions may help bridge differences while ensuring hospital services continue without disruption.

The Dr Mahnoor acid case remains at the center of the controversy, with civil society groups also calling for a transparent investigation.

Many observers believe that the issue of 23 doctors suspended should not overshadow the need to identify and punish those responsible for the attack.
