The strike will call off at 4 pm, after that Doctors will be back at Private Hospitals to fill their pockets. Patients at risk until 4 pm.

very true, they earn lacks per day and fighting for a mere permit, what a shame

Dr a kindly continue your strike, hopefully all the cursing and bad karma that you collect will send you to hell for ever.

Car permits more valuable than human lives..... Doctors Without hearts. Local equivalent to " Doctors without Borders."

Doctors are more concerned about their vehicles than human which they are supposed to serve.
