After Young Doctors Association’s (YDA) Punjab successful struggle, its federal counterpart has once again raised the demand for a new service structure in a meeting on Friday.
Dr Imran Rana, representative of YDA Federal, said the new service structure for the capital should be an improved version of the one in Punjab. “There are many doctors in the capital who are working on the same position they were hired in for the past 25 to 30 years.”
The meeting was held between Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) Executive Director Prof. Riaz Ahmed Warraich, YDA Punjab and YDA Federal. Prof Warraich asked them to submit their suggestions about the new service structure within a week, which may be implemented by the end of the year.
President Zardari had signed the Career Structure for Health Personnel Ordinance fulfilling a longstanding demand of doctors of service structure, regularisation of contracts and salaries, but the ordinance lapsed earlier this year.
