I AM a fresh graduate at a Peshawar hospital. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council and the Supreme Court have ordered that trainee doctors at private hospitals should be paid the same allowance as is given to house officers in government hospitals, i.e. Rs 52,000.
But in the private Peshawar hospital I work for, they pay me and fellow house-job officers only Rs 36,000.
The supreme court and PMDC orders on this issue were clearly mentioned in the Dawn story by Ikram Junaidi in your issue of Feb 25, 2019.
