LAHORE – Young Doctors Association (YDA) Central Office Bearers including Dr Rana Sohail, Dr Salman Kazmi, Dr Aslam Rao, Dr Khalid Idrees, Dr Talha Sherwani and Dr Wajid Wazir in a combined press statement strongly protested against decision of the principal Punjab Dental Hospital to stop payment of salaries of FCPS postgraduate trainee doctors for the last two months.
The officer bearers said that the principal indulging in nepotism and the decision to stop payment of salaries was creating unrest among young doctors of the dental hospital, which would ultimately lead to protests in the hospital. The PCPS trainees had been undergoing their residency at the dental hospital for last six months and had pay orders issued by the former principal up till 2013 but the present administration stopped their salaries.
The YDA office bearers appealed to the Punjab CM and health secretary to take notice of the issue and direct the principal concerned to release salaries of doctors.
