Protesting junior and senior resident doctors demand bed allotment at NIMS for virus-hit HCWs
In spite of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s assurance to implement a 15% hike in their stipends, junior and senior resident doctors have decided to go ahead with the boycott of emergency services in government hospitals from Thursday. As a result, both COVID and non-COVID emergency services are likely to be hit as over 3,100 doctors will be on strike. They began boycott of elective duties from Wednesday itself. Health department officials have made arrangements to ensure the services are not affected. Though the State government reached out to them on Wednesday, members of Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA) and Telangana Senior Resident Doctors Association (TSRDA) said on that not all of their demands were met.
