This situation has made it difficult for the Doctors, some of whom are in residency training program that involves expensive Update courses and Exams.

“This has not only brought untold hardship and worsened the welfare of the health workers who continued to combat the scourge of the covid 19 pandemic, to which some members have paid the ultimate price, with dampened morale but has also made life difficult for the people of the state who receive care in our public facilities as most of these people cannot afford the cost of private health care and have to travel to other states to access affordable healthcare that should be made available at home.
“There is no denying the fact that precious human lives continue to be needlessly lost on daily basis as a result of the ongoing strike by doctors who were frustrated out of work or how else would you describe a situation where you work but do not get paid your dues as and when due with no serious attention paid to our calls for regular and complete renumerations.
“We appeal to the state government to accede to these basic demands so that we can return to work to stop further needless loss of precious human lives from preventable, curable and manageable disease conditions. This would ensure doctors are on ground also stem the tide of the new and more virulent variant of the Covid 19 virus in our dear state.”
