      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Punjab Health Department has acted against doctors at Jinnah Hospital Lahore who have been absent while still receiving salaries.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Six doctors from the Urology Department were found to be colluding to travel abroad, including one female doctor. They have been issued show-cause notices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The health department has sent a letter requesting a response within seven days for action under the PEDA Act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The letter highlights that these six doctors have been absent from their duties for an extended period while continuing to receive salaries, causing a loss of millions of rupees to the public treasury.&lt;/p&gt;
