Junior doctors in Bihar have started an indefinite strike across all state medical colleges and hospitals. The strike began on Wednesday and will continue until their demands are addressed. Despite multiple requests to the Health Department, no significant action has been taken so far, leaving doctors frustrated.
The Junior Doctors’ Association has raised several demands. One major request is to reduce the bond service period to just one year. They also want a penalty of Rs 10 lakhs for non-compliance. Additionally, they are asking for official recognition of their services at the senior residency level. This would acknowledge their experience and role in the healthcare system.
The doctors also demand a salary hike that reflects their experience and the challenging work conditions. They are urging the government to take immediate action and address these issues. The junior doctors have expressed that their strike is not just about work conditions but also about fairness in the profession.
They hope for a quick resolution but are prepared to continue their strike until their demands are met.
