MAIMANA (Pajhwok): Afghan-Turk hospital workers in northwestern Faryab province ended their strike on Sunday following assurances from the authorities to meet their demands.

Dr. Abdul Ali Haleem told Pajhwok Afghan News that the governor had assured the doctors the individuals involved in misbehaviour would be arrested and punished

 On Saturday, hospital staff including senior doctors went on strike against security forces’ misbehavior and intimidation at the hands of illegal armed individuals.

They said security forces, warlords and their guards entered the hospital to ensure medical treatment of their relatives. They allegedly misbehaved with medics and threatened them.
