YDA Sindh Condemns Victimization of Doctors by Health Department
Karachi – August 1, 2025:
The Young Doctors Association Sindh strongly condemns the unjustified transfer of Dr. Suhail Sarki, a BPS- 18 officer of the Health Management Cadre, serving as Deputy Director in the TB Control Program at the Directorate General Health Services, Hyderabad.
Dr. Sarki had rightfully raised concerns in a media talk regarding the prolonged electricity outage at the DG Health Office, which has been facing a severe power crisis for the past month. He warned that the power breakdown could damage life-saving injections and high-value medicines stored in the facility, and appealed to WAPDA authorities to restore power on an urgent basis.
Instead of addressing the core issue and taking corrective measures, the Health Department has transferred Dr. Sarki, an act YDA Sindh views as retaliatory and highly demoralizing for the medical community.
Doctors are public servants, not criminals. Penalizing them for speaking the truth and protecting public interest is unacceptable.
YDA Sindh demands immediate reinstatement of Dr. Suhail Sarki and calls upon the Health Minister and Chief Secretary Sindh to take notice of this misuse of authority.
