Postgraduate medicos across the State will go on a 24-hour strike on November 8, boycotting all hospital services including emergency services, in protest against the government’s continued neglect of their demand for a hike in stipend.

In a statement here on Thursday, the Kerala Medical Postgraduates’ Association said they had conducted a token strike on September 29.

Despite the promises since 2019 to hike stipend, the government has done nothing to fulfill this promise.

The functioning of government medical college hospitals across the State may be affected on November 8, as house surgeons are also likely to join the strike.
