Striking doctors still off duty

LAHORE: The young doctors did not resume their duties at the hospitals demanding withdrawal of all cases registered against them, Geo News reported.

The government released all the doctors after a successful meeting between the representatives of government and senior doctors. But the Young Doctors' Association (YDA) pointed out that although their colleagues were freed but the FIRs lodged against them were not cancelled.

On, Wednesday, the Punjab government has claimed that YDA strike has been called off and all the doctors are resuming duties in their respective hospitals forthwith.

The YDA has stated that they would decide about working in emergency departments today but made it clear that the operations in the OPDs could only be resumed if service structure conditions are met.
