Female Doctors in Karachi Complain Against Sexual Harassment by Male Staffers
Female doctors in Karachi have come out in protest against sexual harassment by male paramedical staffers at Civil Hospital Karachi which is causing the lady doctors severe mental stress.
The harassment is not limited to only female doctors but also female paramedical staff.
Newly appointed female doctors feel insecure while performing long hours duties in different wards, Outdoor Patient Departments, Intensive Care Unit and the operation theatres of the CHK.
"We are already working under poor and unhealthy living conditions at Civil Hospital," the Nation quoted a new doctor, who is completing her house job training at the General Patient Ward of Civil Hospital, as saying.
"The Staff Rooms available for the junior doctors lack basic facilities of safe drinking water, proper seating arrangement and clean washrooms.
"Nevertheless, the offensive behaviour of the paramedical workers cannot be tolerated by all means.
"We have brought this issue into the notice of hospital administration many times by informing that the male nurses and ward boys do not give proper respect to us.
"They annoy and threaten us verbally, psychologically and sometimes sexually without having any fear and accountability of the hospital management," she added.
