Kerala Medical Teachers threaten to limit patient care over pay arrears, transfer delays, faculty shortage
Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala government medical college teachers have demanded a prompt solution for the long-standing issues faced by them, warning to limit their patient care services if the Government does not resolve those concerns.
The Central Executive Committee of Kerala Government Medical College Teachers' Association (KGMCTA) recently discussed the issues faced by the faculty in Government Medical College Hospitals (MCH) during its meeting at Thrissur.
During the meeting, the Head of Urology Department at the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital, Harris Chirackal, highlighted some issues, and the meeting declared solidarity with Dr. Harris, stating that those problems were common to all MCHs across the State.
Demanding an immediate solution from the Government regarding the deficiencies and basic facilities, KGMCTA also decided that the doctors would have to limit the patient care services to the extent that the limited resources would permit if the Government was unwilling to resolve the issues.
