Strike hits patient services in wards and casualty
Functioning of the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, continues to remain affected due to the indefinite strike by postgraduate medical students (junior resident doctors), which entered the 16th day on Thursday.
Though the striking resident doctors resumed attending emergency services from Thursday, sources said that this would only provide a temporary relief. Over 70 non-academic junior resident doctors (NAJRs) have started coming to work too.
The strike, part of a national-level protest, was launched in December first week, and the junior resident doctors initially boycotted outpatient services, ward duty, and elective surgeries. They are demanding that the State government request the Centre to expedite NEET-PG allotment, a four per cent hike in stipend, and appointment of NAJRs. From December 10, they kept off from emergency duty such as casualty and intensive care unit as well.
