LAHORE: The Young Doctors Association (YDA) has continued its strike across government hospitals in Punjab for a fourth consecutive day, on Monday.

According to reports, the YDA protest which was launched against Medical Teaching Institutions (MTI) Reform, has caused massive problems for patients.
