A young doctor in Pakistan earns ~Rs 65–70k/month while working 80–100 hours/week. Same role abroad pays 7x–20x more with better conditions and growth. This is not disloyalty it’s a rational decision. If retention matters, pay must reflect reality. #PayRaiseForDoctors

A pay raise for doctors is not charity. It is health-system protection. Minimum wage in Punjab is Rs40,000/month for 8-hour duty, Rs192/hour. Many young doctors earn around Rs65,000–70,000/month after MBBS, house job, night duties, emergency calls and 80–100 hour weeks. At 100 hours/week: Rs70,000/month doctor ≈ Rs161/hour Minimum-wage worker ≈ Rs192/hour This means a doctor can be earning less per hour than minimum wage. Fair pay means: • doctors stay • wards remain staffed • patients wait less • public hospitals become stronger Pakistan cannot build a strong healthcare system by underpaying the people who run it day and night. Respect doctors. Retain doctors. Protect patients. #PayRaiseForDoctors @PakPMO @CMShehbaz @GovtofPakistan @nhsrcofficial @Financegovpk @pmdcofficial @KPChiefMinister @GovernmentKP @cmopunjabpk @GovtofPunjabPK @SindhCMHouse @SindhGovtPk @PakSarfrazbugti @MaryamNSharif @BBhuttoZardari @mustafa_nawazk @KamalMQM @SdqJaan @HamidMirPAK @SenatorMushtaq @mjdawar @a_siab @SamarHBilour @Asad_Umar

@Sanaulhaqbaloch ڈاکٹروں کی تنخواہوں میں اضافے کا مطالبہ جائز اور وقت کی اہم ضرورت ہے۔ شدید مہنگائی، محدود سہولیات اور مشکل حالات میں خدمات انجام دینے والے ڈاکٹرز بہتر مراعات اور مناسب تنخواہوں کے حقدار ہیں۔ Where the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity #PayRaiseForDoctors

Think of a doctor as a national investment. A doctor takes: • 5 years of MBBS • 1 year of house job • years of postgraduate training • public hospitals, teachers, wards, patients and exams This is not cheap. So when low pay pushes doctors out, Pakistan loses more than one employee. Pakistan loses years of training, skill, experience and public investment. Paying doctors fairly is cheaper than replacing them again and again. #PayRaiseForDoctors @PakPMO @CMShehbaz @nhsrcofficial @Financegovpk @pmdcofficial @KPChiefMinister @GovernmentKP @cmopunjabpk @GovtofPunjabPK @SindhCMHouse @SindhGovtPk @PakSarfrazbugti @KamalMQM @SdqJaan

Surprisingly a doctors in Pakistan is earning and living with way too less salary than many odd jobs and have started mass escape from Pakistan. Doctors carear at risk. The government needs to support doctors in terms of salaries. #PayRaiseForDoctors @IamHaiderSN @KamalMQM

اگر ایک ڈاکٹر اپنی رہائش، ٹرانسپورٹ، کتابوں، امتحانات اور گھر کے اخراجات پورے کرنے کے لیے جدوجہد کرتا رہے تو وہ کب اپنی پوری توجہ مریضوں کی دیکھ بھال پر مرکوز کر سکے گا؟ #PayRaiseForDoctors @SamarHBilour @HaiderHotiANP @KamalMQM @DWMOfficial @iqrarulhassan @WBSK_90

📢 YDA Pakistan Official Services Doctors from House Officers to Professors are united in a single demand: a fair and dignified pay raise. A single month’s salary abroad equals what we earn in an entire year in Pakistan. Justice delayed is justice denied. #PayRaiseForDoctors

A salary is not judged by the number written on paper. It is judged by what it can buy. If doctor pay stays almost fixed while rent, food, transport, fuel, and utilities keep rising… then the doctor is not earning the same. The doctor is getting poorer every year. Low pay + inflation = silent salary cut. And a silent salary cut becomes a silent push toward migration. #PayRaiseForDoctors @CMShehbaz @BBhuttoZardari @MaryamNSharif @AimalWali @SenatorMushtaq @SamarHBilour @HamidMirPAK @mjdawar @BushraGohar @a_siab @fawadchaudhry

Doctors in Pakistan are under Severe economic Pain. There should be a nation wide national rules strictly set in Pakistan for both public and private hospitals regarding Doctors wages. We Need to stop brain drain Pakistani health care. #PayRaiseForDoctors @YDAKPK1 @IamHaiderSN

Fair remuneration is an absolute necessity, not an option. #PayRaiseForDoctors

Doctors are not asking for luxury. They are asking for dignity. #PayRaiseForDoctors #ydapakistanofficial

Now look at health spending: Pakistan spends about 2.9% of GDP on health. UK spends about 10.9% of GDP. Australia spends about 10.4% of GDP. So Pakistan has: low health spending fewer doctors low doctor pay And still expects high-quality care? That is not logic. You cannot strengthen healthcare while weakening its frontline. #PayRaiseForDoctors @CMShehbaz @BBhuttoZardari @MaryamNSharif @AimalWali @mjdawar @BushraGohar @a_siab @HamidMirPAK @SamarHBilour @mustafa_nawazk @ammaralijan

کم تنخواہیں، طویل ڈیوٹیاں اور مسلسل دباؤ — ڈاکٹرز کے ساتھ انصاف کیا جائے۔ #PayRaiseForDoctors @MaryamNSharif @CMShehbaz @irfijournalist @WaseemBadami @KamalMQM

جب جان بچانے والوں کو ہی مالی مشکلات کا سامنا ہو تو صحت کا نظام بحران کا شکار ہو جاتا ہے۔ ڈاکٹرز کو مناسب تنخواہ دینا قومی ضرورت ہے، کوئی رعایت نہیں۔ #PayRaiseForDoctors @MaryamNSharif @CMShehbaz @irfijournalist @WaseemBadami @KamalMQM
