The president YCAP Dr Hammad Butt said that they had very high expectations from PTI’s government. we evenly participated in the campaigns of PTI, from advising our patients to vote for PTI for a change. However, things didn’t turn out good for us and all we have received from PTI are false promises and zero interest. He also said that we promised ourselves that we will not root for any political affiliation with any party in future. Moreover, he said in next election they will campaign against the PTI. Officials of YCAP said in such medical crisis of Covid-19, hospitals are not provided with basic necessities and doctors are not even getting any risk allowance yet. In such conditions doctors are willing to move abroad. Govt is making them to resign and protest. They said that we are not willing to protest and let this disease get viral for the good of people. They said that we are appealing to the government through a formal diplomatic way and will be writing an open letter to the PM and keep raising our voice on every platform. They are also facing shortage of health professionals although 10,000 vacancies are waiting to be occupied but couldn’t due to the criminal negligence of the government.
