Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Wednesday (August 28, 2024) asked the Tamil Nadu government to standardise the pay scale for medical interns, postgraduate students, super-specialty students, and medical college teachers in the State on par with the salary structure at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Dhinakaran welcomed the advice of the National Medical Commission (NMC) in this regard and pointed out that the doctors in Tamil Nadu had long been seeking pay parity with Union government doctors.
