Ranchi: Around 600 resident medical doctors at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (Rims), who attend to a majority of the patients, will boycott outpatient division (OPD) products and services from Friday. The protesting medical doctors are making plans to run a parallel OPD on the parking space close to the clinic’s emergency ward.
The medical doctors are protesting in opposition to the extend on a part of the Rims management and the federal government within the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations for resident medical doctors on the lines of All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) which was once licensed in July 2018.
Junior Doctors Association (JDA) president Ajit Singh stated: “We had been meant to get revised pay from July final 12 months as the proposal was once cleared by the overall body. However, the government stored on delaying it on pretext of bureaucratic problems. Resident medical doctors will not attend OPD on Friday and Saturday and JDA will sit on hunger strike in entrance of the director’s office on Sunday.”
JDA has been not easy pay revision for six months and its contributors had worn black badges to responsibility to push for their calls for on January 19 and 20. However, they referred to as off the protest two days after the state health secretary’s assurance that he's going to soak up the matter with the federal government on a priority foundation and their calls for can be fulfilled quickly.
Around 1,500 patients consult with Rims OPD on a median everyday and 80% of them are attended to by the resident medical doctors, which come with senior residents, postgraduate students and house surgeons. Patients visiting Rims from some distance off puts can be most influenced as OPDs will not function. However, emergency products and services can be stored out of the strike.

The general body meet on Tuesday licensed the pay revision and it takes round three to 4 days in writing down the court cases. I guarantee that the medical doctors will get their revised salaries on the earliest.”
