The strike has severely affected the hospitals all across the state and it has not gone well with the public. As per the media reports, there is widespread disgust among public on doctors’ strike in the state. The public is questioning government’s negligence to take action against the strike.
The association called for the agitation to protest against the government decision to extend the OP time in hospitals from 9 AM to 6 PM and the suspension of a doctor, who refused to attend to work following the increase in OP timings.
KGMOA state secretary, Jithesh V warned that if government launched any action against them, they would further intensify their agitation. He alleged that government was not doing enough to ensure prevention and control of infectious diseases.
