A female doctor, a postgraduate trainee, was the victim of an acid attack at Sandeman Provincial Hospital in Quetta. After sustaining burns on 13% of her body, she was airlifted to a private hospital in Karachi, where her condition is now stable. Despite the attack affecting her eyes, her vision remains intact. The assailant, identified as Humayun Shah, fled the scene but was later killed by police during an exchange of gunfire while attempting to escape the city. The incident has sparked widespread outrage within the medical community, prompting the Young Doctors Association to boycott duties in outpatient departments and hospital wards across Balochistan. They are demanding increased security for healthcare professionals. Balochistan government officials have assured that all medical expenses for the injured doctor will be covered and investigations are ongoing to address the circumstances surrounding the attack.
