PESHAWAR, Sept 29: The NWFP Contract Doctors Association has decided to boycott the Public Service Commission examination and has asked the provincial government to honour its commitment regarding regularisation of their jobs.

This was decided in a meeting held at the Lady Reading Hospital here on Sunday under its provincial chief Dr Taimur Shah.

Doctors expressed concern that most of the 1,000 contract doctors, working in relatively remote areas of the province, had passed the PSC tests and interviews several times and asking them to appear in tests for the renewal of their contract was ridiculous.

Dr Taimur Shah said that doctors, who had already qualified the commission’s examination, should be regularised without further delay.

Referring to the commitment made by the health minister regarding solving their problems, they said that the minister was yet to contact doctors about the formation of a committee.
