GO issued as medicos threaten to boycott emergency duties
With the strike by Postgraduate medical students (junior residents) threatening to derail the functioning of all Government Medical College Hospitals, the Government issued a order late night on Thursday, giving permission to the principals to appoint non-academic junior residents in all MCHs.
The lack of a formal GO acceding to this main demand by PG doctors, that the acute human resources shortage be resolved, was one of the reasons why the junior residents had refused to withdraw from the strike.
According to the GO, a total of 373 non academic junior residents would be appointed of which Thiriuvananthapuram will get 50, Kozhikode and Thrissur 72 each, Kottayam 75, Alappuzha 61, Ernakulam seven and Kannur 36.
