Doctors of government hospitals here boycotted out-patient (OP) services for two hours on Thursday pressing various demands.
Close to 200 doctors took part in the protests in Salem and boycotted OP services between 8 a.m and 11 a.m. The protests were held demanding pay hike based on Dynamic Assured Career Progression scheme, counselling to postgraduate service doctors’ posts instead of direct posting, 50% quota in postgraduation studies for government doctors and appointment of doctors according to patient ratio instead of reducing doctor positions according to suggestions by Medical Council of India.
T.Senthil Kumar, convener of Federation of Government Doctors Association, said that patients were attended to after the protests. He added that the government should call them for talks and hear their grievances.
In Namakkal, close to 400 doctors from Namakkal district headquarters hospital and primary health centres took part in the protests. The doctors raised slogans against the government and demanded the government to pay heed to their demands.
