Banglore: Stipend woes haunting doctors of BMCRI
Advertisement
Banglore: Following the move of the Karnataka government Cabinet to increase the stipend of the resident doctors working in Karnataka, the doctors of Banglore Medical College were rejoicing. Little did they know, that there stipend will not be paid for the next three months, let alone the increment. And when the stipend finally did come to a few yesterday, the numbers represented utter chaos. Some doctors received at the stipend at the new incremented rate, some at the old lower rate, whereas a few didn't receive anything at all
When the doctors which include majority of house-surgeons, post-graduates as well as super-speciality residents approached the Director BMCRI, they were informed that they would only be receiving the stipend at the old rates ( Rs 25000 for Pg and Rs 15000 for interns) as the college did not have any funds to pay the doctors. This in turn was because the government had not allocated sufficient funds to the college.
