No salaries, drug shortages, harassment: Karachi doctors’ protest lays bare Pakistan’s deepening healthcare crisis

For the sixth consecutive day, doctors at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital in Karachi are staging protests due to unpaid stipends, claiming three months of missed payments and a significant pay disparity with other public hospitals. They raised alarming security issues, faced harassment from patient attendants, and underscored a dire lack of essential medicines. If the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation does not address their grievances soon, the house officers may halt outpatient services.
