Punjab government has decided in principal to increase the salary package for the doctors’ community from 1st July and this would be a fairly decent and reasonable increase. The recommendations for the said increased salary package would be finalized by the mid of May, this year.
Secretary Health Punjab Fawad Hassan Fawad who met with the YDA-12 member delegation headed by Dr. Nasir Abbas at Lahore General Hospital last night said, salaries of the doctors would be increased by July 1.
Principal PGMI, LGH Prof. Tariq Salahuddin, Prof. Ali Haider, Prof. Rubina Sohail, Prof. Agha Shabbir, Prof. Shoaib Randhawa and MS LGH Dr. Zafar Ikram were also present in the meeting.
Dr. Nasir Abbas demanded that this assurance should be given to them in black and white so that they could convince their colleagues in general body’s meeting.
Fawad Hassan Fawad directed the principal LGH to circulate the minutes of the meeting among the stake holders for this purpose. Prof. Tariq Salahuddin asked the young doctors to freeze their strike in OPDs as there were no moral grounds left for strike after clear cut assurance about salary increase from higher authorities
