Chandigarh: Disparity is stipend continues to upset foreign resident doctors practising at Indian institutes of national importance despite the Union government direction issued last year to pay them salaries just like any other medical professional.
Aggrieved by the failure of the concerned institutional authorities, the doctors recently took to streets in protest.
In September 2018, the government had directed Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER, PGI Chandigarh) and other medical institutions of national importance to pay the foreign doctors their due stipend.
Medical Dialogues had reported that with the centre's order, the junior resident doctors were about to be paid Rs 80,000 salary per month and the senior residents Rs 1 lakh per month. The other two prominent medical institutes, All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) were going to tag along.
