Young doctors’ token strike continues at PIMS


The Young Doctors Association (YDA) Islamabad Chapter on Wednesday continued their token strike at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to press the authorities for the acceptance of their demands. “If any doctor of YDA Punjab chapter is arrested by the Punjab government, we will close all the hospitals in the federal area and will give full support to our colleagues,” President of YDA Islamabad Chapter Dr Sajid Abbasi told APP. He, however, said that the YDA’s ongoing strike in the federal capital is symbolic in favor of demands and all the doctors are performing their duties in out patients department (OPD), emergency ward and other wards of PIMS. He said that the doctors would continue their work in the hospital wearing black bands on their arms as a token of protest while further strategy would be decided in next meeting.
