PG doctors threaten to boycott essential services including COVID duty
Functioning of the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, is likely to be hit more in the coming days with postgraduate medical doctors planning to escalate their ongoing indefinite strike seeking fast culmination of NEET-PG allotment.
According to functionaries of the Kerala Medical Post Graduate Association (KMPGA), postgraduate doctors across the country are boycotting essential services from Monday. The KMPGA, however, is not joining them.
A KMPGA leader said that right now they are boycotting only outpatient departments, operation theatre, and ward duty. If there is no word from the government by Tuesday, they would keep off from emergency services such as casualty, intensive care unit, and COVID duty as well from Wednesday.
