Members of the Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA), and Telangana Senior Residents Doctors Association (TSRDA) have that they will boycott duties from May 25 if their demands, including ex-gratia for healthcare workers (HCWs) as announced by the State government, were not fulfilled.
The State government on Tuesday announced 15% hike in stipends for House Surgeons (MBBS Interns), medical students pursuing Post Graduation (PG), superspecialty courses, PG Diploma, and MDS. It would come into effect in retrospect, from January this year.
Stipend arrears
However, the TJUDA members wanted the hike in stipend to be implemented from January 2020. On the other hand, the TSRDA said that the 15% hike in their honorarium is pending for approval and that they have been hoping it will be approved for the past six months.
Both associations have also made a demand for the free treatment for HCWs and their family members since they are not able to find beds in hospitals.
