Government doctors in the state have threatened to boycott work from December 4, cutting down on outpatient services, elective surgeries, post-mortem and tender mass resignations, step by step, if the government does not hike their salaries.
On Wednesday, in an urgent meeting at Trichy, the joint action committee of the doctors’ association decided to continue non-cooperation agitations, including boycott of medical boards and camps. The strike will begin with one-day OP boycott on December 4. If the doctors don’t get a favourable decision from the government within four days, they will stop doing elective surgeries and taking classes for medical students. From December 12, OP services will be stopped and on December 13, they will stop doing post-mortems for a day. “If the government continues to turn a deaf ear, all these services will come to a standstill between Dec 27 and Dec 29,” said Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association president Dr K Senthil.
Government doctors have made several representations to the government seeking pay parity. In March 2017, the associations submitted a 26-page document and demanded pay parity with central government doctors, time-bound promotions, similar work-based allowances and retirement age.
