A strike is being observed by doctors in the Out-Patient Department (OPD) of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for the 12th consecutive day on Saturday to press their demands. This strike is being observed on the appeal of Young Doctors' Association (YDA).
President of YDA Dr Sajid Abbasi told APP that the YDA Islamabad Chapter is observing the strike as their demands for pay-raise and service structure haven't yet been met. He said the doctors have been performing their duties only in the Emergency Ward of the hospital during strike whereas other services remained closed including the OPDs, operation theaters and other departments.
