Young Doctors Association (YDA) on Thursday launched an awareness campaign about the service structure for doctors at Lahore General Hospital.
YDA leader Dr Muddassar while talking to the media after a seminar, said that this campaign was necessary in order to eradicate the misconceptions among the general public about YDA protests.
He said that during the drive, young doctors were being taken into confidence about the demands of the YDA. However, there was no demonstration in hospitals, he added.
He said that the protesting doctors had called off the strike for over three weeks, and yet nothing had been done to fix the service structure.
Around 700 doctors of Lahore public sector hospitals were among those who participated in the awareness drive.
At the same time, YDA members also took their demands to PML-N leaders. A team of YDA doctors comprising Dr Amir Bandayshah and Dr Nasir
Abbas met with Senator Ishaq Dar, Senator Pervez Rasheed and MNA Zahid Hamid.
The meeting went on for over five hours, and YDA representatives deemed it to be a step in the right direction.
