Yesterday, 10 March 2026, a delegation of *PMA Gujrat and YDA Gujrat met Mr. Shoaib Mirza, Special Advisor to the Chief Minister Punjab, at the CM Secretariat Lahore.
During the meeting, the following important issues were discussed:
1. The long-standing issue of Incentive Allowance for Consultants working in the Primary & Secondary Healthcare Department was raised. Mr. Shoaib Mirza sb assured the delegation that the matter will be taken up and resolved on a priority basis.
2. The delegation also expressed serious concerns regarding the termination of adhoc doctors. It was suggested that instead of termination, the government should consider converting their services into a lump-sum package, which would be a more practical and fair solution.
3. Both organizations strongly emphasized the urgent need to upgrade Civil Hospital Jalalpur Jattan to THQ level, with increased bed capacity, improved healthcare facilities, and adequate human resources to better serve the local population.
PMA Gujrat and YDA Gujrat are hopeful that the assurances given during the meeting will soon be implemented. Further we will continue to follow it closely until our issues resolved.
