we live in a society where girls are not allowed to talk with strangers but they are forced to marry strangers and then this society calls them arranged marriages.
Doctors are not asking for special treatment. They are asking for compensation that reflects the years of training, responsibility, and sacrifice required to keep our healthcare system running.
#PayRaiseForDoctors
It is a completely legitimate demand to raise doctors’ salaries in Pakistan. These young physicians are among the brightest minds in the country. They spend nearly a decade studying relentlessly, work exhausting 100+ hour weeks during house job and residency, and carry the responsibility of human lives every single day.
Yet many are paid less than drivers and security guards. This level of exploitation, especially by some private hospitals, is unacceptable. If meaningful reforms are not made urgently, the brain drain of talented doctors will reach catastrophic levels, ultimately hurting Pakistan’s entire healthcare system.
Pakistan wants world-class healthcare with third-world salaries for doctors.
If we want to stop brain drain and save our healthcare system, we must value doctors now.
