3100 junior doctors and senior residents to boycott COVID and non-COVID elective duties
Some 3,100 junior doctors and senior resident doctors would boycott COVID and non-COVID elective duties at Telangana government teaching and allied hospitals from 9 a.m. of Wednesday as their demands were not addressed, including State government’s ex-gratia for health care workers (HCWs) who lost life in line of duty. Representatives of Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA), and Telangana Senior Resident Doctors Association (TSRDA) announced the decision to media on Tuesday. The medical services which do not need emergency attention are called as elective duties such as Out-Patient services, treatment for closed fractures. They would continue to attend COVID ICU and critical care duties, and non-COVID emergencies.More Related News
