Brain drain

DOCTORS are considered to be the cream of the nation. They have burnt the midnight oil to get their MBBS degrees. They are working round-the-clock to meet the their requirements of FCPS. But a large number of them are working on an honorary basis. It has become very difficult for them to make ends meet when the prices of all commodities are sky-rocketing. This heart-rending situation has created an atmosphere of alienation and many are leaving this land of the pure for the land of opportunities. It is the obligation of the government to devise a policy to halt this loss of talent. Our policymakers should pay due attention to increasing the salaries of doctors. Their services must be regularized to enhance their sense of security. DR TANVIR HUSSAIN BHATTI Lahore
