The Young Doctors Association (YDA) has announced to end their strike after the Supreme Court (SC) assured that their problems would be addressed soon.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) was hearing the drug reaction case today where Advocate General of Punjab ensured the court of withdrawing the case against suspended doctors, a private TV channel reported.
During today’s proceedings Justice Saqib Nisar remarked that why the government of Punjab is acting hastily on the issue. Justice Tassaduq Jilani questioned that is not such action illegal.
The court ordered action only after the probe is completed.
Advocate General of Punjab ensured the court about retracting the suspension of the doctors in the case.
The YDA said that now there is no question of continuing the strike as the court has assured us that our demands would be fulfilled.
Earlier, young doctors continued their strike on the fifth consecutive day. Many patients suffered due to the strike as they were unable to get treatment in the hospitals.
The patients appreciated the doctors’ decision and expressed their best wishes for them.
The YDA representatives said that they resumed the duties in emergency wards because they did not want to increase the miseries of already sufferings patients.
