Yda strike: Doctors to leave for Lahore on Nov 6

400 doctors had been removed from their jobs for protesting the working conditions, says YDA members.

BAHALWALPUR: A delegation of the Young Doctors Association Punjab (YDA) from the Bahawal Victoria Hospital will leave for Lahore on November 6 to participate in the YDA protest in front of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat.

The YDA members said that doctors were leaving Pakistan due to the government’s health policy. They said when the doctors raised their voices for their “legitimate demands”, the government registered false cases against them. They said 400 doctors had been removed from their jobs for protesting the working conditions. They said that services at the hospitals will not be suspended during the demonstration.
