Doctors at PIMS (Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences) saw a strike in the OPD (Outpatients Department) from the YDA (Young Doctors Association) leaving patients suffering.

The doctors are requesting a raise in salaries and an improvement in service structure and regular work for contract doctors. On Saturday more than 500 doctors gathered at the administration block with banners against the Exec. Director and Federal Secretary of Health for not responding to their demands.
Regular service was affected as a result with many operation theatres out of action and emergency surgery available only.
A representative of Polyclinic YDA said that “they will completely shut down OPD on Monday as the health ministry has failed to resolve their concerns.”
