The retirement age of specialist doctors is slated to be extended to 63 from 60, Daily Mirror learns.   

The verdict regarding the matter will be delivered today (27).  

A total of 176 specialist doctors have filed a petition in the Court of Appeal saying that it is unfair to change the age privilege of 63 to 60.   
The specialists have been urging the retirement age be revised to 63 as it is a contributing factor to the shortage of the medical specialists in 
the country.
