Actor Humayun Saeed off late took to Twitter and shared his disappointment in the count of female doctors leaving the medical field after finishing their studies. He additionally explained how this dropout rate conceivably has been chalked down by the pressures of society eventually faced by the female doctors.
He wrote on Twitter, “Disappointed to find out that only 1 out of 4 female doctors practice after graduation in Pakistan because of family pressure.” He also teased of a possible new project on the topic, writing, “Thinking of a new project, maybe to highlight this issue. Let’s encourage women to pursue their dreams.”

It’s not only be because of Societal pressure but also majorly because of Insane working hours doctors are expected to do.
I mean 36 hours shift then 12 hours at home then again you have to report at the ward early next morning.

It’s hard for our girls to do any job after marriage/kids,let alone a job that needs you 24/7.Even in supportive families,allowing them to do job is considered “support” but in the end,it’s her who has to handle everything at home too,which is NOT easy. So they quit #DoctorBahu

I think it’s an important social issue that is always undermined by societal pressures and cultural norms. As a doctor myself, I feel it’s the need of the hour. Great to see people speaking about it now in the open. Would love to help out in anyway possible! #DoctorBahu

This isn’t the first time, when a star has stood up against the issue of doctor bahu. However, we’re happy this time it’s a big name wanting to feature the issue of women not being permitted to work. We strongly pin hopes that Humayun Saeed will make a project on the issue of doctor bahu and it does equity to the battles of such countless ladies.
