Patients continued to suffer as Young Doctors Association’s (YDA) strike entered in sixth day on Monday across the province. The Punjab government’s action against striking doctors continued and suspension orders were issued against three doctors to date. Moreover, the provincial government also authorised hospital administrations to take action against doctors causing obstructions to daily routine operations. Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday issued fresh notices to the parties and sought a reply by January 25 over the petition filed for action against doctors who had assaulted their senior in Gujranwala.
