Authorities in Quetta are currently investigating the motives behind a violent acid attack targeting Dr. Mahnoor Nasir at Civil Hospital. The assailant, identified as Humayun Shah, was killed while attempting to escape the scene shortly after the assault. Dr. Nasir has since been transferred to Karachi for advanced medical treatment, with the provincial government pledging to cover all associated costs, including potential surgery abroad. Meanwhile, local officials are interviewing hospital staff and the attacker's associates to uncover any broader conspiracy or underlying cause for the incident. In response to the attack, the Young Doctors Association has launched a province-wide strike, boycotting outpatient services to demand better security for healthcare workers. The protest has led to the establishment of a camp at the hospital, where medical professionals are vocalizing their concerns regarding safety protocols.
The incident has triggered a significant healthcare crisis in Balochistan, highlighting critical security concerns for medical professionals and prompting a government-wide response.
