Why was the resident doctor on strike From March 8, the resident doctor was on strike for this because the pending amount of the seventh pay scale between 2016 and 2019 was not paid. The doctors first protested with a black badge from March 01 to March 8, and then went on strike after negotiations with the Secretary and RIMS Director failed. Due to the doctors’ strike, the medical system was paralyzed across the state and thousands of patients returned home without treatment.
More than five thousand patients returned from OPD in three days
Due to the closure of OPD of all six Medical College Hospitals in Jharkhand, more than five thousand patients had to return to the hospital in three days. If we add the number of people returning from many departments including RIM’s Neuro, Ortho, Surgery, Cardio, without showing to the doctor, then close to three thousand patients alone have returned.
