Resident AIIMS doctors protest over 7th CPC implementation
New Delhi: About 2,000 resident doctors of the AIIMS staged a protest against "improper implementation" of the 7th central pay commission recommendations and sought the prime minister's intervention in the issue.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the AIIMS Resident Doctors Association (RDA) said even one-and-half- years after the implementation of the 7th CPC recommendations and four months of allowance approval in other medical institutes, the AIIMS doctors here still didn't get the revised pay because of administrative lapses.
"Even after four months of implementation of the revised allowances at the central government institutes like Safdarjung Hospital, RML Hospital and other autonomous medical institutes like PGI Chandigarh, we are still awaiting a nod from the Health Ministry for getting it implemented here at AIIMS," AIIMS RDA president Harjit Singh Bhatti said in the letter.
He said when they approached the hospital administration, it said the Health Ministry was not giving approval and when they visited the ministry they were told that it would take a long time.
The resident doctors threatened to go on a strike next month if their demands were not met.
He said the resident doctors at the AIIMS were forced to work "tediously" for more than the "mandated 48 hours" in a week but were not getting their rightful due because of the bureaucratic hurdles.
In their letter, the RDA said the implementation of 7th CPC would help them to carry out their work related to patient care with more zeal and enthusiasm.
