A woman from Narail, a visually impaired man and his 11-year-old niece from Shariatpur, all of whom require urgent eye care, were turned away from the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital in Dhaka yesterday, as all services remained suspended for the sixth consecutive day. Doctors and nurses began a work abstention citing security concerns following an alleged attack on hospital staffers by a group of injured July uprising victims -- who are being treated in the hospital -- and a tripartite clash involving some patients and their attendants on Wednesday.
