More than 4,000 resident doctors in Maharashtra began an indefinite strike on Friday seeking various demands, including a waiver of their academic fees and a risk incentive for services rendered during the pandemic.
The Maharashtra State Association of Resident Doctors (MARD), the apex association of resident doctors from all the government medical colleges and hospitals in the State, demanded a waiver of their academic fees on the ground that there were no classes held during the pandemic and that they were pressed into service from day one.
The resident doctors also demanded a COVID-19 risk incentive for services rendered during the pandemic.
