When Dr. Hafiz Waleed Malik completed his MBBS studies late last year, he was awarded 29 gold medals for topping various subjects. Perhaps that is why people are surprised that he has not yet been able to get a job as a doctor in a hospital. In fact, he wrote in response to a question on Instagram in the past few days that ‘I applied to more than 20 private hospitals but could not get a job anywhere.’ He has claimed that 99% of doctor jobs in private hospitals are on recommendation and one percent on merit. “I could be wrong but that’s what I’ve seen.” His talk has been circulating on social media for the past few days and it is being said about him that a #youngdoctor is unemployed despite having won #29goldmedals in MBBS.

A post has been going viral on social media of an MBBS graduate who has revealed that he hasn't gotten any job in a hospital despite being honoured with 29 gold medals for topping in various subjects. Dr Hafiz Waleed Malik — who graduated with an MBBS degree last year — believes that jobs in hospitals are not given on merit due to the prevalence of "sifarish culture". A few days ago, Dr. Malik took to Instagram to address a question regarding his job search. He revealed that despite applying to over 20 hospitals, he had been unsuccessful in securing a position. Expressing his dismay, he stated that the prevailing situation regarding job opportunities heavily relies on favoritism rather than merit. "Applied for 20+ hospitals, didn't get job. Situation of jobs is 99% sifarish and 1% merit. I might be wrong but that's what I observed. Only the merit should prevail but this system is beyond repair," he had said. Soon after, individuals quickly captured a screenshot of his statement, which rapidly spread across various platforms, ultimately going viral. #pakistanijournal #drhafizwaleedmalik #pakistanjobs #mbbs #mbbsstudent #jobs #jobs2023
