Doctors and paramedical staff on Thursday called off their strike after a successful round of negotiations between the Health Employees’ Coordination Council and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government here.
The announcement to end the strike came as an eight-member committee of doctors put forward their demands during a meeting with KP government officials at the Chief Minister’s (CM) House. The demands of the committee were then accepted.
Show-cause notices and orders for different postings and transfers were also withdrawn by the KP government. A consensus on improvements in Post Graduate Medical Institutes (PGMI) was also reached during the talks.
