Doctors resume duties on Dunya News request

A representative of the Young Doctors Association (YDA) announced in Dunya News program ‘Khari Baat’ that doctors would attend the Punjab Institute of Cardiology emergency ward in Lahore and Multan.


Five young doctors resumed their duties in the emergency ward of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore on Tuesday. The indoor and outdoor units of the hospital are still closed.

The government had assigned the emergency wards to the senior doctors but they admitted that they alone could not mange the job.

Meanwhile, the YDA’s strike entered 36th day on Tuesday. Several patients have lost their lives amid the strike for being denied medical treatment. Those, who can afford, are visiting private hospitals but majority of the patients cannot afford the expenses of private hospitals and they are just waiting helplessly for the end of strike.
