Patients facing problems amid YDA stike

Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - Lahore—Young Doctors’ Association (YDA) strike continued on the second day across the Punjab while patients were facing problems at various hospitals.

Sources said that OPDs in all the government hospitals of the province remained closed on Tuesday causing miseries for patients visiting hospitals for medical treatment.

The patients visiting hospitals from far flung areas have expressed strong resentment over the YDA’s strike.

The YDA is observing strike in outpatient departments of all healthcare facilities including tehsil and district headquarters hospitals, teaching hospitals and rural healthcare centers serving under the Punjab government for the implementation of revised service structure for doctors.—INP
