| ASCOMS doctors seek MCI intervention | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sept 22: The strike by the resident doctors of ASCOMS & Hospital, Sidhra in support of their demands continued for the third day consecutive day today.
While talking to newsmen, the members of the Association alleged that ASCOMS’s being the 550 bedded superspeciality post-graduate institute in the state, the resident doctors are the least paid as compared to their counterparts in rest of the country.
In terms of duties, the Association said, the management is violating all the norms set by the Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
‘The basic salary today is still what it was when the institution was started 13 years ago, the Association alleged and said that on papers they are shown to be permanent employees of the college but are shown as contractual appointees in appointment orders..
The management’s decisions are detrimental to the resident doctors’ welfare, the association held and in this connection referred to the scrapping of the duty allowance and annual increments of the resident doctors.
The working conditions in the hospital are so pathetic and the professional satisfaction for doctors so little that most of the doctors leave the institution only after joining their duties, the association said.
The resentment among the doctors has been the bane of the management who has failed to meet their pending demands over the years, the association said and added that the senior faculty members are facing the same problems as that of the resident doctors and are likely to join the agitation, if the management continued to adopt its non- compromising attitude and fails to meet the resident doctors’ demands. |
