Vasan urges T.N. government to act on long-pending demands of doctors
Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) president G.K. Vasan on Thursday (June 12, 2025) urged the Tamil Nadu government to immediately address the legitimate demands of government doctors in the State. He also warned that continued inaction was both disappointing and detrimental to public healthcare.
In a statement, Mr. Vasan said government doctors have been demanding that issues like time-bound promotions, pay parity with Central government doctors, and provision of ex gratia compensation to families of doctors who lost their life during the COVID-19 pandemic be addressed and resolved. Government doctors, nurses, and support staff have been the backbone of the healthcare system, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing critical care to patients, he noted.
He said his party would extend support to the protest march launched by the government doctors association from Salem to Chennai. He urged the State government to fill vacant posts in hospitals, strengthen public health infrastructure, and consider the demands of government doctors without any delay.
