PMC Calls Nationwide Strike Against Tax Policies

News Desk
KARACHI: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has announced a nationwide strike, instructing all medical centers across the country to close in protest against alleged harassment, raids, fines, and tax policies imposed by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
The PMA’s decision comes in response to growing concerns among healthcare professionals regarding the FBR’s aggressive tax enforcement measures.
In a statement, the association emphasized that these actions not only threaten the livelihoods of medical practitioners but also compromise the quality of healthcare services available to the public.
This strike is expected to have significant implications for citizens seeking medical care, as hospitals and clinics will be unable to provide services during the protest.
The PMA has called on the government to address their grievances and engage in dialogue to resolve the ongoing issues related to taxation and healthcare funding.
As the strike unfolds, the PMA plans to hold meetings with government officials to discuss potential reforms in tax policies and ensure the protection of healthcare professionals’ rights.
The association urges the public to support their cause, highlighting the need for a fair and sustainable healthcare system.
