Young doctors’ strike
Authorities know that having medical services available through doctors, is a vital part of the wellbeing of a society

The white-collared protesting employees are supported in their demands so long as equal terms are presented, including a reasonable salary. The governing authority must realise that having medical services available, through doctors, is a vital part of the wellbeing of a society. Instead, they have supported the arrest of YDA members by the police showcasing their stubbornness.
In due diligence, however, doctors must conversely remember that there is a global Hippocratic oath they take to serve people anywhere. The doctors who are implicated in the death of the 50-year-old woman, Jannatul Firdous, owing to neglect must always remember the oath. Although the arrests of doctors may be justified owing to their destruction and transgression of police/public property, the doctors’ fervour can be detected and the authorities should not ignore them any longer. This has become too frequent a news and the respective government has a duty to consider and honour the demands.
