MULTAN - The Young Doctors Association announced on Monday to end boycott of outdoor patient department and resumed their duties while wearing black armbands.
"We've decided to end the camps. But if our demands are not accepted within 48 hours, we'll stage a hunger strike camp on February 6," announced YDA Multan chapter Chairman Dr Ali Waqas and general secretary Jahangir Khan while addressing a news conference here at Nishtar Hospital. He further warned that the Punjab Government would be responsible for the law and order situation, if the police assaulted the participants of hunger strike camp. "Even if anyone loses life because of hunger, the Punjab Government will be held responsible for this life loss," he maintained.
He demanded the government to give free and quality medicines to the patients, make all hospitals functional by replacing out of order and outdated machinery, announce service structure for doctors and end vindictive actions against YDA.
