YAPJEN expressed concern that despite the threats posed by the dreaded coronavirus pandemic, the Government is yet to meet the demands of striking doctors who had down their tools over their welfare and called on the government to meet the demands of the medical doctors to enable them respond to the global emergency.

The group further called on the private sector to exhibit their corporate social responsibility by devising and sponsoring media awareness campaign which will be aimed at sensitizing the citizens on how to stay safe.
