A young doctor in Pakistan earns ~Rs 65โ70k/month while working 80โ100 hours/week.
Same role abroad pays 7xโ20x more with better conditions and growth.
This is not disloyalty itโs a rational decision.
If retention matters, pay must reflect reality.
#PayRaiseForDoctors
Imagine after 17 years of education and 1 year of house job, you finally get an FCPS seat at age 26โ27 and earn only 100kโ110k for the next 3โ5 years!
Most Pakistani doctors belong to middle-class families, with families depending on them after graduation.
30-hour duties, hectic routines, harsh timings ,and in the end, just 100kโ110k!
Doctorsโ salaries must be raised.
This issue must be addressed at the highest level!

#PayRaiseForDoctors
stop ''producing'' thousands of doctors every year if you can't pay them well for their services and the life you suck out of them
it's an absolute joke atp that you think they can survive with a salary of 60-70k (or even less in some hospitals)
