Muzaffarabad (PoK), April 14 (ANI): Doctors and paramedic staff in PoK hospitals are protesting against the administration as they fear getting infected with Coronavirus due to the unavailability of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits. At Ambor hospital in Muzaffarabad, the doctors and other employees said they are being pushed towards death by the government as they have been working without safety kits. Pakistan occupied Kashmir has poor healthcare system and it is completely unprepared to tackle a situation like the COVID-19 outbreak. In many areas in PoK, neither doctors nor testing labs are available. Suspected coronavirus patients are roaming amid the rest of the population without being examined.
