Karnataka Resident doctors appeal to the Government to increase stipend
On behalf of the 2500 resident doctors working in various government hospital in Karnataka, the Karnataka Association of Resident Doctors ( KARD) wrote to the Chief Minister of Karnataka pleading to draw the attention towards problems faced by the house surgeons, the post graduate students (MD/MS/Diploma) and super speciality residents (DM/Mch) studying/ working in govt medical colleges in Karnataka.
In a polite way, while the letter thanks the government for the opportunity for quality education and training in respective medical departments, yet draws light to the misery faced by the doctors in government hospitals. " We work all the seven days a week. Average duration of work per week is not less than 80 to 100 hrs. Those who are posted in intensive care units, labour rooms and emergency services work for more than 100 hrs a week.
