The Young Doctors Association (YDA) at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) has issued a press release demanding a fair work environment for medical professionals.
The YDA calls for a transparent and merit-based selection process for the upcoming FCPS and MCPS residency programs, scheduled for January 5, 2025.
They also demand a re-conduct of house officer ward allotment interviews, free from bias and favoritism, with a selection committee comprising senior faculty members to ensure a fair process.
Furthermore, the YDA office bearers urges the JPMC administration to release the inquiry report and take action against the Head of Department (HOD) of the Urology Ward, who is accused of harassing a female doctor.
The association also demands for the immediate payment of pending stipends for house officers and postgraduate trainees.
Dr. Mehboob Noonari, Chairman YDA Sindh, led the cabinet meeting where these demands were discussed.
The Chairman YDA has warned that if their demands are not met, they will be forced to resort to protest measures, including boycotting Outpatient Departments (OPDs).
