The doctors are demanding a hike in emergency and dearness allowances, increase in the non clinical and director of health cadre strength. They are also demanding the construction of a new building for Osmania General Hospital and retain in service quota.
On Tuesday, Telangana Government Doctors JAC members submitted a strike notice to Principal Secretary of Health Department A. Shanti Kumari.
Dr. R. Lalu Prasad announced the protest would be partially boycotting the elective services at Government hospitals. He further added if demands are not met the doctors will boycott Out Patient services without warning. The doctors will follow this by boycotting emergency services if the Government fails to meet their demands.
Government doctors went on a similar strike for the same demands last year in April. But the protest was called off after the Health Department assured their demands would be met.
