KMPGA Opposes govt's decision to deploy Medical College Hospital doctors at second-line treatment centres
Kerala: The State Government's decision to deploy doctors of Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital at second-line treatment centres has been severely opposed by the Kerala Medical Postgraduate Association (KMPGA)
Considering the recent hike of COVID victims in the state, the government in order to handle the scarcity of workers has decided to deploy doctors of medical colleges at second-line treatment centres but the doctors of Kerala Medical Postgraduate Association found the decision to be a potential threat on the tertiary care provided at Medical College hospitals to both COVID and Non-COVID patients.
An official of the district administration said everybody has to compromise and work according to the system at a time of crisis. "Doctors cannot evade duties assigned to them. We will take disciplinary action if they don't comply with the orders," the official told TNIE.
