LAHORE: The Young Doctors Association Punjab announced on Friday night that it had ended strike in ‘emergency wards’ of state-run hospitals.
The doctors had refused to work in emergency wards after police recently raided the Services Hospital and arrested a number of their colleagues.
Dr Mudasar Razaq, a spokesman for the YDA, told Dawn that the decision had been taken by the YDA in its general council meeting in compliance with the Lahore High Court directives to the young doctors to resume work in emergency wards of public sector hospitals.
Presided over by YDA President Dr Hamid Butt, the meeting decided to continue strike at OPDs and indoor departments to keep pressure on the government to announce service structure for young doctors, Dr Mudasar said.
