Kerala: No release of funds for salary of GMC doctors, paramedical, staff yet
Palakkad: Adding to the plight of overworked doctors, paramedical, and other staff members amid the pandemic, the Kerala government has yet not released the funds to pay salary to the healthcare employees of Palakkad Government Medical College.
According to a recent media report in Times of India, doctors, paramedical, and other staff members of the hospital have not received their salary for the month of December yet. The employees have claimed that this is the first time that they haven't received their salary even in the third week of the month.
This kind of irregularity regarding the salary of the employees was reportedly not witnessed during the initial phases of the medical college. However, over the last two years situation has worsened.
