These doctors who have received free education would have\u00a0 spent money to go for private tuition .Their parents could afford to pay for the tuition .<\/p>\n

If they want to pressurize the government to abolish private education they should also pressurize to\u00a0 stop private tuition .<\/p>\n

All specialist doctors do private practice to earn money .We all know how all specialist doctors spend more time in private hospitals including this doctor charging exorbitant fees from poor people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If they want to abolish private medical education, they should expect the government to impose rules prohibiting them\u00a0 to carry pout private practice .<\/p>\n

Government should also enact a rule that doctors should serve the country at least for 10 years to recover the cost of education before they are allowed to leave the government service .<\/p>\n

I am quoting a previous opinion I have written on the same subject .<\/p>\n

GMOA stated that it will take measures to make the international community aware about the government\u2019s conduct pertaining to patients\u2019 rights with regard to SAITM Issue <\/em><\/p>\n

Citizens in this country are stupid and na\u00efve .We watch these educated people with poor man\u2019s money while they\u00a0 playing with their lives .We are\u00a0 just watching the drama played by the GMOA Now they want to go international. !!<\/p>\n

International community has been watching\u00a0\u00a0 the doctors\u00a0 going on strikes and making the poor suffer. My colleagues from many countries keep asking me about the stupidity of the doctors .They keep asking why government allows them to do private practice while on strike<\/p>\n

They may have to go to Somalia\u00a0 ,or Ethiopia\u00a0 and make their plight !Becuase in these countries there is no value for human lives ><\/p>\n
