The Lahore High Court judge Justice Ahjazul Hassan on Tuesday issued notices to Secretary Health, Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), and Young Doctors Association (YDA) for July 6 and remarked that young doctors’ strike in Punjab province was against their oath.
While hearing a case against young doctors’ strike, Justice Hassan said that the law and constitution did not give the right to doctors to go on a strike. He said that doctors were sons of the nation and that they should be treated well.
It is pertinent to mention here that at least 10 patients including a child have died in the province during the strike by Young Doctors.
