VIJAYAWADA
Junior doctors across the Andhra Pradesh State began their strike with token protests on Saturday at government hospitals demanding scrapping the on-year compulsory rural service condition to be imposed on them through GO.No.107.
Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors’ Association (APJUDA) took a strong objection to the diversionary tactics of the Government. They warned of intensifying their strike from Sunday. Medical services at non-emergency were affected. Token protests by junior doctors in Guntur, Visakhapatnam, Kurnool and Tirupati have served 72 hour notice. Full-fledged agitation is on the cards from November 23.
Minister for Health Kamineni Srinivas speaking to media said that the government has promised to look into some of the demands but it could not act in haste on the rural service norm. He said that junior doctors are trying to corner the government without understanding its limitations, he said.
