🚨 180 House Officers at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, including 70% women doctors, are pleading for help.
We are working 30+ hour shifts, three times a week, yet many of us are not being paid according to the government-approved stipend of Rs69,600. Instead, our offer letters mention only Rs45,000.
In June alone, we faced multiple mob attacks in the Emergency Department. Security personnel and staff often leave first, forcing young doctors, especially female house officers, to face violent mobs alone. We have heard gunfire outside the Emergency and genuinely fear for our lives.
Today, while peacefully protesting for our rights, some hospital staff allegedly harassed us, pulled our dupattas and used abusive language.
We have video evidence and official documents to support our claims.
We are not asking for privileges. We are asking for:
✅ Safety at work
✅ Protection from harassment
✅ Payment of our lawful stipend
✅ Dignity and respect for young doctors serving patients day and night
We are only a few months into our careers and already feel abandoned by the very system we serve.
We urge the authorities, fellow doctors, journalists and civil society to help amplify our voices and ensure justice.
