A peaceful province-wide protest movement is now starting hospital by hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to YDA KPK, the pay raise summary for House Officers and TMOs had already been approved at the Health Secretariat after the YDA dharna, but the same increase was not reflected in the KP budget presented by the Chief Minister.
YDA says doctors will now hold hospital-wise peaceful demonstrations across the province until the promised pay raise is formally included and implemented.
This is a simple question of commitment, budgetary justice, and respect for frontline healthcare workers.

Honourable CM @SohailAfridiISF, corruption in hospitals and low doctors’ pay are connected. When the health system leaks money, the first victims are patients and the young doctors working day and night for only 70–80k per month.
A doctor saving lives on emergency duty should not be treated like cheap labour. It is like asking a pilot to fly a plane safely while refusing to maintain the engine. Hospitals cannot run on speeches; they run on medicines, machines, clean management and motivated doctors.
If there is evidence of corruption, then action must be transparent, time-bound and visible. Recover public money, stop the leakages, and use health funds where they belong: patient care, hospital facilities and fair salaries for doctors.
Doctors are not demanding luxury. They are demanding dignity, fairness and survival. Fix corruption, respect doctors, and approve a real pay raise now.

A country cannot demand “service to humanity” from doctors while treating them below basic labour dignity.
@pmdcofficial says house job must be paid. CPSP says stipend compliance is mandatory. Minimum wage itself is near 40–45k.
So how can a private hospital offer an MBBS doctor 30k, or make trainees work unpaid?
This is not training. This is exploitation in a white coat.
Doctors are not asking for luxury.
They are asking for lawful pay, dignity, and respect.

Before you scroll, please watch this full video.
Yesterday, at Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, an attendant attacked a doctor.
Not in a street.
Not in a market.
Inside a hospital.
A place where people come to save lives has become a place where doctors now fear for their own safety.
And the most painful part is this:
this is no longer shocking.
It has become routine.
Every few days, another doctor is abused, slapped, dragged, threatened, or beaten. Then everyone condemns it for 24 hours. A few posts are shared. A committee is announced. And then we wait for the next attack.
But tell me honestly:
How long can a doctor treat patients while also fearing the attendant standing behind him?
How can a nurse work in peace when one bad outcome can turn a ward into a mob?
How can any emergency run when doctors are expected to save patients with no beds, no staff, no security, no ventilators, and then also absorb the anger of a failed system?
No doctor creates ICU shortages.
No nurse creates medicine shortages.
No medical officer builds broken district hospitals.
No house officer decides hospital budgets.
But when the system fails, the doctor standing in front becomes the easiest target.
This is not just violence against one doctor.
This is violence against every patient who will need that doctor tomorrow.
Because every time a doctor is attacked, another doctor learns one lesson:
“Do not take risk. Refer the patient. Protect yourself first.”
And if this fear spreads in public hospitals, the biggest victims will not be doctors.
The biggest victims will be poor patients.
Private hospitals can refuse complicated cases.
CMH has controlled entry, security, discipline, and consequences.
But public hospitals take everyone, the poor, the critical, the late, the angry, the hopeless, the referred.
And still we beat the same people who did not abandon us.
This video should not be watched silently.
Share it.
Not to create hate.
Not to defend negligence.
But to demand a system where patients are treated with dignity and doctors work without fear.
We need hospital security.
We need limited attendants.
We need strict punishment for violence.
We need complaint desks, not mobs.
We need more ICU beds, more staff, and functional district hospitals.
A doctor’s white coat is not a punching bag.
Violence will not save your patient.
A better health system will.
Meet Abdul Razzaq Tarkai, a Pashtun technician at Civil Hospital Quetta.
When Dr. Mahnoor was brutally attacked with acid while serving patients, he didn't think about his own safety for a second. He rushed to her aid, wrapped her in his clothes, and helped save her, suffering injuries himself in the process.
While cowards attack a female doctor performing her duty, heroes like Abdul Razzaq Tarkai risk their own lives to protect others.
This is the courage, humanity, and selflessness our society needs more of. Kudos to the Government of Balochistan for rightfully recognizing his bravery.

@brainlessnormie Bhai MBBS chor de. MBBS k baad Salary average 50k hay working hour 90. Guard ki salary 45k hay working hour 48.
Engineers and IT specialist are earning way more money.
When healthcare professionals are financially secure, they can focus fully on patient care instead of constant stress about expenses. Supporting doctors means supporting a healthier, more reliable health system for everyone. #PayRaiseForDoctors
When CPSP will not make sure the paid training,PHC & Commissions will not take any action against quacks & will only harass the doctors.PMDC will only suspend licenses of doctors & govt will not hold these institutes accountable, medical profession in Pakistan will collapse soon.
A doctor’s duty extends beyond working hours.
Emergencies can happen at any moment.
They remain ready to serve.
Their compensation should reflect that responsibility.
#PayRaiseForDoctors
Doctors save lives daily, working endless shifts under immense pressure. 💉⏰
Yet their pay fails to reflect the critical, life-saving care they provide. It’s time to value their sacrifice, skill, and dedication—properly.

#PayRaiseForDoctors
The public trusts doctors with its most vulnerable moments. In return, doctors deserve a compensation structure that reflects their training, responsibility, and contribution to society. #PayRaiseForDoctors
We serve tirelessly, often beyond limits, yet our pay stays unjustly low. Long hours, high stakes, & endless duties—while the government undervalues our sacrifice.
We demand a raise that matches our dedication. #payraisefordoctors#PayDoctorsFairly
