Ahmedabad: At least 450 internship doctors from three civil hospitals attached to medical colleges carried out by the Gujarat government-controlled entity carrying out unlimited attacks on Thursday, claiming that they have not been paid for “Covid Allowances” promised by the government.
Anxious internship doctors belonging to medical colleges run by Gujarat medical education and the research community (GMers) in the Sola Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Valsad regions.
After completing their MBBS courses, medical students were asked to internship in hospitals before they were given permission to start their own practice.
According to the nervous students, the state government in April announced that internship doctors and medical colleges managed by GMers would get RS 5,000 as a monthly covid allowance and above their salaries for March to June for Covid-19 tasks.
“While the government-managed college internship has received the benefits promised by the government, the college internship doctor managed by GMERS is not given the number.
Even though we made representation to the authorities several times in the past, there was no positive response..
Therefore, 450 doctors The internship of these three colleges has decided to carry out unlimited attacks, “said one of the internships.
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Gujarat Nitin Patel, who handled a health portfolio, assured that the problem would be resolved soon.
In a warning tone, Patel asked the doctors who were striking to join the task and show some “worries” for patients.
“Internship is a must for medical students.
These students must thank the government to regulate their internships in their respective government hospitals and also give them benefits.
It is a government that shows a big heart, not an internship doctor,” Patel claimed.
“They have to complete their internship even if we don’t give any pocket money, because it’s a must to become a doctor.
In private medical colleges, students must pay from their bags to do an internship.
This internal doctor must show some patient concerns,” Add it.
