KARACHI, Nov 3: More than 400 house-job doctors serving at the Civil Hospital Karachi (CHK) continued their protest and strike on the 15 consecutive day, Monday, for increase in their stipend.
They boycotted ward duty for four hours and held a demonstration in front of the office of the hospital’s medical superintendent.
The house-job doctors are demanding the same stipend being paid to their counterparts in Punjab, saying that the Punjab government has raised the stipend up to Rs12,000 while the Sindh government had kept it at Rs6,210 which is quite insufficient considering the recent surge in inflation.—PPI
