Patiala, January 6- After the Punjab Civil Medical Services Association (PCMSA) warned that the state government doctors would go on strike from January 20; Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema has called the association leaders to Chandigarh for a meeting tomorrow at 2 pm.
Association President Dr Akhil Sareen has confirmed the invitation for the meeting. Doctors say that the government was ready to accept their demands during their recent protests. But even after 16 weeks, no notification has been issued to implement those demands, due to which there is resentment in the medical community.
The main demands of the doctors include implementation of the promotion program for doctors, meeting the huge shortage of medical officers, specialists and paramedics and adequate security arrangements in health centers
