He said that earlier Punjab government had destroyed education by privatizing schools and now government hospitals are also being leased out to favourites of Shahbaz Sharif on contract whereas we had made the board of directors of the hospitals autonomous.

Dr Atif Chaudhry said that Shahbaz Sharif is utilizing health budget on orange train whereas during your tenure doctors were getting their rights but when in 2008 doctors were not given their rights then YDA came into existence, after your government presently condition in the hospitals is that two or three patients are lying on each bed.

He said our demands are that conditions in the hospitals be improved, doctors should recruited on permanent basis through Public Service Commission instead of ad hoc basis. He said that when we protest for our rights and betterment of hospitals then we are beaten up on the orders of Khadam-e-A’ala, because of his defective policies Pakistani doctors are going abroad leaving government jobs whereas in your government best facilities and incentives were available to the doctors as well as patients due to which doctors were coming back to Pakistan.
