The medical fraternity across the State is preparing to go on the warpath, expressing their strong protest against the government’s decision to continue to withhold the salary of health-care workers for six more months.
President of the Kerala Government Medical Officers’ Association Joseph Chacko and secretary G.S. Vijayakrishnan said on Thurdsay that the doctors were being forced to go on an agitation by the government which had shown nothing but callousness and disregard for health-care workers, who had been relentlessly fighting COVID-19 on the front lines.
However, despite continuous appeal by the KGMOA, the government did not relent. It was said that the government had chosen to disregard even the Supreme Court’s directive not to withhold doctors’ salaries.
The doctors would be forced to go on the path of an open stir if the government continued to ignore the demanads of doctors.
