Thiruvananthapuram: Around 4,000 government doctors in Kerala will today sit on an indefinite ‘non-cooperation’ strike demanding immediate filling up of vacancies of specialists and ensuring supply of quality medicines in state-run hospitals.
However, patients will not be affected as the members of the Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) will continue to attend their duties at the various hospitals, KGMOA office bearer K.C. Ramesan told IANS Sunday.
Ahead of announcing the indefinite strike, the KGMOA had observed a token protest July 11, asking the state government to look into their demands.
There are 1,281 health institutions under the Health Services Department in Kerala. Ians
