Pakistan Islamic Medical Association concerned over dismissal of 15 doctors in Punjab

The Pakistan Islamic Medical Association (PIMA) has shown serious concern over the suspension and dismissal of 15 doctors from their posts in Punjab. According to PIMA, these actions are causing uncertainty among medical professionals and may lead to an increase in doctors leaving the country. The representative body of doctors firmly rejects these decisions, arguing that a doctor's career should not be jeopardized by an administrative choice.

They believe such actions could have significant and wide-ranging effects on the healthcare system and patient care. PIMA is urging for a review of these decisions and practices, emphasizing that the well-being of patients and public health should always be the top priority. Meanwhile, PIMA Central President Prof. Atif Hafeez Siddiqui has called for a dialogue to address legitimate concerns and differences of opinion among medical professionals.
