SWABI, Oct 17: The dental department of the DHQ Hospital was closed down to protest against the suspension of a technician on disciplinary grounds.
According to details, the Medical Superintendent of the hospital suspended the dental department technician, Mohammad Ishaq, on the charge of negligence of duties and disobedience some days ago.
The dental department in-charge, Dr Anwar Ali, said that he was not consulted before the suspension of the technician which was against the practice and left on medical leave as a protest.
The hospital sources said that in the absence of two persons, there was no one to run the dental department and it had been locked.
