Senior doctors from the private sector discussed at length issues of concern. Some of the problems discussed included shortage of good staff in healthcare sector. “The major reason for the crunch is huge disparity in pay-scale of healthcare staff in private sector as compared to government sector or pay-scales offered abroad. Majority of the staff works in private sector only for experience, and once trained, moves to government sector or abroad for better pay-scales,” said Dr Ravneet Singh Grover, a senior pulmonologist, Medicaid Hospital. Other issues discussed included abolishing quackery.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
