Interns in Maharashtra, who, within a year, will be practicing independently as doctors have been forced to resort to indefinite hunger strike rather than hone their skills.
All this, due to the ignorance of government towards their demands.
So lets see what the demands are:-
1. Raise in stipend from Rs.2,550 to Rs.13,000
2. Regular revision of prices
Considering the costs of living and inflation of prices, do you think the basic necessities of our Health Care Personnels can be fulfilled in a mere Rs.2550
To Make it even, lets see what our partner states' attitudes are towards their own personnel
West Bengal Rs.14,000
Central Institutes Rs.. 13500
Delhi Rs.13000
Assam Rs.12500
Orrisa Rs. 8,600
Karnatka Rs. 8500
UP Rs. 7500
Bihar Rs. 7000
Jharkhand Rs.7000
This, I think, everyone will agree that if a person is not able to fulfill his basic necessities the quality of his work will suffer.
