According to the report, the shortage of junior doctors has become a serious problem in the country.
On a recent trip to India and Pakistan, Irish health officials found more than 420 experienced doctors who, they said, are willing to work in Ireland.
However, the Irish Medical Council said that only 30 of these doctors have applied to register in Ireland.
Local health officials hope that the Irish ministry for health will amend the laws to make it easy for non-European Union doctors to work in the country.

@fajim bawany: Ask from a person who is studying medicine in pakistan. they are spending their own huge money and invaluable time on their education. Our government is not that much welfare that they divert tax payers money to health sector. And secondly what government was paying to doctors before the strike. only 12000 to 18000. equal to the amount a sweeper or a soldier without any qualification earns. i think they earns much more. if a person cannot support his two member family with his pay then i dont think such a profession is worth pursuing here.
The problem is multidimensional.
those who argue for subsidized education for doctors should also look into the matter that Engineer's have more subsidized education than doctors and they are also leaving the country although they have far better pays and working hours than doctors. Even a person who does his Masters in Urdu also enjoys the benefits of subsidized education, because it is the duty of a stat to give better education to its people, then why are you saying doctors should stay here as they are given subsidized education. I think this is non-sense. every professional mind is flying out of Pakistan because of very tough financial situation to live here.
Yes, Irish people are flying from Ireland but these current offers are better for Pakistanis as they have their families here and if you convert Euro's to Rupees then the difference is obvious
I think you can talk someone about staying in a country if you give then the comparable pays according to their profession at least in the region, Just take the example of India 80000 Indian rupees per month (multiply by 2 for Pakistani rupees) for a junior medical officer who is going to start his training.
I think as a Pakistani if we will not start respecting our professionals and their needs then we will face such type of problems.
May Allah Bless our Beloved Country.
What doctors are facing today in Pakisan was on the line almost 10years ago .But our govt. pays no heed to health.The situation in Ireland is same as in Pakistan,here too ill paid and looong working hours with no extra pay.But, convert euro into ruppee, what is low pay for irsh is high for our doctor.Why doesn't the govt. give same pay here, about 4-5 lac that for a junior doc!!!!!!!!!!!!! and per month !! Everyone from an uneducated worker to highly educaed are running to earn enough to pay bills and feed their family.But only the doctor is not allowed to live ,if they ask their worth in private practise then again they are bad, looting humanity.Let doctors live,too.
