Madhya Pradesh: 1,200 Medicos with five medical colleges resign
Bhopal: Health services in Madhya Pradesh were affected today as around 1,200 junior doctors at five government hospitals in the state resigned to protest the "expulsion" of five of their colleagues in Gwalior.
Junior doctors in government-run hospitals across the state launched an indefinite strike yesterday to press for their various demands, including a hike in stipend. However, five of the protesting doctors in Gwalior were expelled by the authorities yesterday.
There are five government hospital-cum-medical colleges across Madhya Pradesh. They are in Bhopal, Gwalior, Indore, Jabalpur and Rewa.
He accused the government of treating the junior doctors as its "servants".
"The government has clamped Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) to thwart our indefinite strike that began yesterday for a hike in stipend and other things," Dr Saxena said.
According to him, after tendering resignation, the doctors have started leaving the hostels.
Due to the strike and en masse resignations, health services in these hospitals were affected and hundreds of patients were put to inconvenience.
When contacted, Minister of State for Health Sharad Jain said the government was making alternative arrangements to ensure that people do not suffer due to these developments.
