He said he would raise the issue of compensatory allowance of nurses with the chief minister. Shahram Khan Tarakai said the government would withdraw all the disciplinary measures taken against the nurses if the nursing staff ensured services at hospitals. The health minister promised to increase the stipend of student nurses and review their rustication from nursing schools.

It took action against the ******-bearers of the nursing association and administration of the nursing schools.
