Revise Stipend as per NMC Rules: Gujarat Resident doctors urge Authorities
Ahmedabad: The resident doctors pursuing postgraduate medical courses at the Government medical colleges in Gujarat have recently urged the authorities to grant them stipends in compliance with the National Medical Commission (NMC) rules.
Raising their demands in this regard, the Junior Doctors' Association recently handed over a memorandum to the director of PG studies at the Civil Hospital, reports TOI.
Currently, the PG medical students in the State get Rs 84,000 as a monthly stipend. According to the existing rules, the amount of the stipend should be increased every three years.
As per the latest media report by the Times of India, in the memorandum, that the PG medicos submitted to the authorities, the doctors referred to the fact that the Gujarat government has also passed a resolution in this regard. Despite this, the doctors alleged that the last time their stipend was revised was back in 2021 and the revision of the stipend was due this month.
