LAHORE – Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has rejected reservations by some groups of doctors about the approval of the summary of promotion/regularisation of 1800 senior doctors having postgraduate qualification of FCPS, MRCP, and FRCS as assistant professors, senior registrars and district specialists by the Punjab chief minister.
PMA officials said that the summary’s approval and implementation will ensure that 1800 senior doctors awaiting regularisation for last 13 years are regularised.
PMA has rejected all propaganda against the summary by some groups of doctors and added that these 1800 doctors were highly qualified and had done their MRCP/FRCS and were serving in the public sector hospitals. The chief minister had already approved their regularisation in 2009 and the present summary was just an extension of that approval to resolve some issue regarding vacancies, said PMA officials. Neither the public service commission was bypassed nor had any senior doctor been deprived from its right, they said.
