Doctors spent years studying to serve humanity. They deserve salaries that match their sacrifice. #PayRaiseForDoctors

Pakistan wants a strong healthcare system… but invests weakly in health. Pakistan’s health spending is around 2.9% of GDP. World average is around 6.7% of GDP. Pakistan’s health spending per person is around $39/year. World average is over $1,300/year. And then we expect doctors to work endless hours, face violence, manage overcrowded wards, handle emergencies, and stay motivated on low pay. Not realistic. Not sustainable. Not fair to doctors. Not safe for patients. A health system cannot run on slogans. It runs on staff, funding, protection, equipment and fair pay. When doctors leave, it is not only migration. It is the bill for years of underinvestment. Fund health. Pay doctors. Protect patients. #PayRaiseForDoctors @asfandyarbitani @KPChiefMinister @YDAKPK1

ایک ڈاکٹر کی 1 لاکھ تنخواہ میں سے 35 ہزار کرایہ، باقی بلز، پیٹرول اور روزمرہ اخراجات میں ختم ہوجاتے ہیں۔ گرمی میں بل سے بچنے کیلئے پنکھا بند کرکے سونا پڑتا ہے، پھر بھی سیونگ زیرو۔ ڈاکٹر ایک طرف سخت ٹریننگ، دوسری طرف مہنگائی، اور اوپر سے مستقبل اور شادی کی فکر۔۔ #payrisefordoctors

ڈاکٹرز اپنی جوانی انسانیت کی خدمت میں گزارتے ہیں۔ انہیں بہتر معاوضہ ملنا چاہیے۔ #PayRaiseForDoctors

Pakistan produces world-class doctors. Then we treat them like disposable labor. Then we wonder why the airport lines are full of stethoscopes. The brain drain isn't a choice its an eviction. Fix the wages. #PayRaiseForDoctors

Why Pakistani Doctors Are Leaving Pakistan? Every year, thousands of trained Pakistani doctors leave the country not out of lack of patriotism, but due to limited financial and professional opportunities at home. A young doctor in Pakistan earns around Rs. 65,000–70,000/month, while early-career doctors abroad earn several times more: 🔹 Pakistan: Rs. 65,000–70,000/month 🔹 UAE: ~Rs. 494,000/month 🔹 Saudi Arabia: ~Rs. 593,000–1,113,000/month 🔹 UK FY1: ~Rs. 1.21 million/month Beyond pay, doctors also face: ✔️ Long, exhausting duty hours ✔️ Limited training & residency slots ✔️ Workforce shortages with rising unemployment ✔️ Lack of career security and progression Migration is often not a choice of preference, but of necessity. A system cannot retain its doctors without fair compensation, adequate opportunities, and professional respect. Brain drain is not a doctor problem it is a system problem. YDA Pakistan believes that retaining doctors requires meaningful reforms, fair pay, and merit-based growth opportunities. Doctors want to serve Pakistan the question is whether the system is ready to support them. Respect Doctors. Retain Talent. Strengthen Healthcare.

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 @YarMKNiazi @KPChiefMinister @YDAKPK1 @asfandyarbitani @YDAKPK1 @ydakp_official

Why #PayraiseForDoctors? Because in simple maths: 1 month salary of a doctor abroad 1 full year salary of a Pakistani house officer Pakistan house officer: PKR 69,600/month = PKR 835,200/year UK/Australia basic monthly doctor pay, when converted to PKR, can cross this yearly amount. This is not fair pay. This is talent export. #PayRaiseForDoctors @CMShehbaz @BBhuttoZardari @MaryamNSharif @AimalWali @HamidMirPAK @SenatorMushtaq @mjdawar @SamarHBilour @mustafa_nawazk @YarMKNiazi @KPChiefMinister

Pakistan has only around 1.08 doctors per 1,000 people. That means 1 doctor for almost 923 people. Very bad ratio. Very dangerous for patients. And now trained doctors are being pushed out because of low pay, unsafe hospitals, burnout and no real future. Pakistan spends years training doctors. Then other countries take the benefit. This is not smart policy. A country with low doctor density cannot afford doctor migration. Pay them fairly. Retain them. Protect patients. @asfandyarbitani )³±

Pakistan is not a country that can afford to lose doctors. Population of Pakistan: 241.49 million World Bank/WHO physician density for Pakistan: about 1.08 doctors per 1,000 people That means roughly: 1 doctor for every 923 people And this is before we even adjust for: • doctors not actively practicing • doctors shifted to private sector only • doctors preparing foreign exams • doctors already migrated • rural areas with far fewer doctors So when even a few thousand doctors prepare to leave, it is not “personal choice” only. It becomes a national access crisis. @asfandyarbitani @YarMKNiazi @KPChiefMinister #PayRaiseForDoctors

Doctors are humans not robots. Nowadays anyone comes and de humiliate doctors.Doctors are saviors. Justice delayed is justice denied. #PayRaiseForDoctors @YarMKNiazi @KPChiefMinister @ydakp_official

It’s not just bureaucrats or politicians but every field has special privileges including Army personnel’s, Cricketers, Railway employees including Kache k Dakoos it is only and only us doctors whose duties even don’t include holidays on special occasions. #PayRaiseForDoctors

FCPS-qualified specialists and consultants face unemployment or job offers below Rs 100,000/month despite years of training and expertise. Pakistan must value its specialists before they seek opportunities elsewhere. #PayRaiseForDoctors @ShahbazShareef @KamalMQM

ڈاکٹرز صرف بیماریوں سے نہیں لڑتے، وہ نیند کی کمی، مسلسل ذہنی دباؤ، طویل ڈیوٹی اوقات اور مالی مشکلات سے بھی لڑتے ہیں۔ #PayRaiseForDoctors @SamarHBilour @HaiderHotiANP @SohailAfridiISF @ShahbazShareef @BBhuttoZardari @asifa_zardari @KamalMQM

ڈیوٹیاں 72,72 گھنٹے مسلسل اور تنخواہ مزدور سے بھی کم۔۔۔۔۔۔ کیا کوئی اور بھی ایڈا اداری ہے جو مسلسل 72,72 گھنٹے ڈیوٹی کرے اور تنخواہ مزدوروں والی لے۔۔۔۔۔؟؟؟ #PayRaiseForDoctors

Doctors give years to medicine before earning a stable life. They deserve better compensation across Pakistan. #PayRaiseForDoctors
