Doctors Ultimatum to KMC has intensified as medical professionals warned Karachi Metropolitan Corporation of protests if their pending salaries and dues are not released within three days.
Doctors associated with the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) hospitals have issued a strict three-day ultimatum to the city administration Doctors Ultimatum to KMC, demanding the immediate release of their unpaid salaries and allowances.
Speaking to media, the Doctors Ultimatum stated that their repeated requests had been ignored for months, leaving many struggling to manage financial responsibilities. They warned that if their dues were not cleared within the given deadline, they would be left with no choice but to halt services and stage demonstrations outside KMC offices.
The representatives added that non-payment of salaries has created immense frustration among healthcare staff, which could directly affect patient care in KMC-run hospitals. They appealed to authorities to take urgent action and ensure timely disbursement of funds.
Medical associations have also extended support, stressing that the situation highlights the broader crisis in municipal health services where doctors, despite working in challenging conditions, face financial neglect.
If demands remain unmet, doctors hinted at expanding their protest movement across Karachi, which could paralyze healthcare services in several major public hospitals under KMC’s management.
