Lahore: Punjab Government on Sunday has decided to black-list the young doctors, who were on strike from 13 days, from their government jobs.
The decision came hours after the talks between the protesting Young Doctor’s Association (YDA) and senior doctors failed to reach any understanding.
In a statement issued by Punjab Health Department spokesman, the government would send the names of doctors, who participated in the strike, to the British College of Physician for criminal record.
“The names would also be sent to the embassies of Gulf countries,” the spokesman said.
The government has summoned all senior and administrative doctors till 8 am while the military doctors would also commence their duties from the same time.
The spokesman further said that the letters for the appointment of 1000 new doctors have been sent to Health Department Punjab and they would soon join their duties.
Earlier, the YDA general had warned to surround the CM House on July 5 if their demands were not met.
The young doctors have put forth three conditions to end their strike continuing since June 18. They also demanded that Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif should assure them of fulfilling their conditions.
Their demands include appointment of Medical Officer directly in Grade 18, stipend of post-graduate equal to that of Medical Officer, and matching the health professional allowance with basic pay.
