Telangana doctors raise concerns over delayed stipend hike, disbursement
Raising the issue of delay in the disbursement of stipends for several months, the resident doctors in Telangana approached the State Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha recently. Apart from the issue of delayed stipend, the junior doctors also highlighted other issues such as stipend hikes, scholarship reimbursements, tax exemption for stipends, regular pay for the contractual staff, etc.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that back in 2024, the Telangana Junior Doctors Association had announced an indefinite strike from June 24, 2024. Approximately 7,000 junior doctors from 20 medical colleges across the State were participating in the strike, advocating for their long standing demands including the establishment of a green channel for timely stipend disbursement and inadequate honorarium for Super Specialty Senior Residents etc.
