Thiruvananthapuram: After the Kerala University of Health Sciences has directed private medical colleges to pay house surgeons (interns) the same amount of stipend as government medical colleges in the state, now the management of private colleges is opposing the decision.
The Managements who refuse to obey the instruction will face disciplinary punishment, according to KUHS. The university registrar has already written to University Principles urging them to take student complaints seriously. Meanwhile, principals maintain that the stipend cannot be provided without initiating a payment hike. They further stated that the university directive is only a suggestion and that institutions are not bound to adopt it legally, reports the daily.
