The Telangana Junior Doctors Association continued its protest today at Gandhi Hospital, and submitted a strike continuation letter to the hospital superintendent.
The Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA) on Thursday continued its protest at Gandhi Hospital, and submitted a strike continuation letter to the hospital superintendent.
"We bring to your notice that we are continuing the strike as our demands were not been assured by the Health Minister yesterday. We are not going to resume our duties until our demands (decentralisation of Covid cases) be fulfilled in a time bound manner (sic)," the association said in the letter.
The doctors of the only Covid-speciality hospital in Hyderabad went on a strike yesterday after relatives of a patient who died of the disease assaulted doctors.
The alleged attackers were arrested, but the attack was seemingly only the last straw, and the doctors chose to continue the strike anyway giving more reasons.
