JK Cong urges CM to intervene for hike in stipend of medical interns

Jammu, Aug 31: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene in the ongoing protest by medical interns and ensure an early and meaningful enhancement in their stipend. Jammu and Kashmir has probably emerged as the lowest-paying region for MBBS and BDS interns among the states and Union Territories listed in a comparative chart circulated by protesting medical interns, with a monthly stipend of just Rs 12,300, prompting them to launch an indefinite strike on Monday demanding its immediate revision to Rs 30,000. In a letter addressed to the chief minister, Karra said the demand of the protesting medical interns was genuine and deserved sympathetic and immediate consideration. Medical interns constitute an essential part of the healthcare delivery system and shoulder significant responsibilities in hospitals while undergoing their compulsory internship, he said. These young doctors routinely work long and demanding hours, including 36-hour shifts, attending to patients and performing their duties with dedication and commitment, Karra said. He pointed out that the stipend being provided to medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir was considerably lower than that offered in several other parts of the country. When interns elsewhere are being provided better financial support for comparable responsibilities and working hours, the demand of our medical interns for a reasonable enhancement in stipend merits serious consideration, he said. Karra urged Omar to direct the authorities concerned to engage with the protesting interns, listen to their grievances and work towards an early and satisfactory resolution of the issue. The Congress leader said positive government intervention at this stage would not only address a legitimate concern of the medical fraternity but also boost the morale of young doctors who contribute significantly to the functioning of hospitals and healthcare institutions. He hoped the government would prioritise the matter and take necessary steps for a meaningful hike in the stipend of medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir, in line with their responsibilities and the prevailing stipends in other parts of the country. The interns said their stipend had remained unchanged for nearly seven years despite repeated representations and protests, while the cost of living and stipends offered to interns in several other states had increased substantially. According to the comparative figures displayed by the interns, Odisha tops the list with a monthly stipend of Rs 44,319, followed by West Bengal at Rs 43,099 and Assam at Rs 35,000. Karnataka pays Rs 30,000, while Kerala offers Rs 27,300 and Delhi and Meghalaya Rs 26,300 each. The stipend in Telangana is listed at Rs 25,900, while Arunachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh offer Rs 25,000 each. Tamil Nadu's stipend is shown at around Rs 25,000, followed by Haryana at Rs 24,310 and Andhra Pradesh at around Rs 21,840. Gujarat, Bihar, Goa and Himachal Pradesh are listed at around Rs 20,000 a month, while Puducherry offers Rs 18,000.

J&K medical interns to withdraw services from today

Srinagar, Aug 30:After years of waiting and scores of representations, and despite a government committee recommending an increase, medical interns have been pushed to wall to start a strike from August 31. MBBS and BDS interns across J&K are set to begin an indefinite strike from Monday, August 31, withdrawing their services from all hospitals. They are demanding revision of their monthly stipend from the existing Rs 12,300 to Rs 30,000. The strike is the latest escalation in an unmet demand that has dragged on for nearly seven years. The stipend has remained virtually frozen while they say their workload and living costs have continued to rise. A committee constituted by the government had recommended an increase in the internship stipend to Rs 26,350 per month. However, despite the recommendation, a formal order implementing the hike has not materialised. The file and the issue was shuttled between the concerned departments. The interns have alleged prolonged administrative inaction. The young doctors performing duties in government hospitals continue to receive Rs 12,300 a month. The amount. interns and doctors' associations say is grossly inadequate to meet their most basic expenses like travel for work and food. Interns are routinely posted in emergency departments, wards, operation theatres and other clinical areas. They assist in patient care and work long and night shifts. The resident doctors' associations have also backed the demand and pointing to the role interns play in emergency units, inpatient wards, intensive-care facilities. They are also a crucial part of OPDs. The gap becomes starker when J&K's stipend is compared with several other states and institutions. Recent comparisons cited by doctors put internship stipends at around Rs 30,000 in Karnataka and central institutions and AIIMS, around Rs 28,892 in West Bengal and around Rs 31,500 in Assam. Uttar Pradesh has recently approved an increase to Rs 25,000 for MBBS and BDS interns. Now the interns in J&K have announced that they are left with no option but to stop work. A senior faculty at GMC Srinagar said its always desirable to enhance stipend annually based on incremental rise of 5 to 6 percent. This is similar to DA to permanent employees, and towards equitable norms. In June, the J&K Medical Students Association urged the government to revise the stipend and bring it closer to central government norms. J&K Medical Students Association had also highlighted how interns at Government Medical College Anantnag allegedly faced disciplinary action while raising concerns over stipend. The Resident Doctors' Association at GMC Srinagar and associated hospitals has extended solidarity to the interns. They have called the demand for Rs 30,000 stipend legitimate and urged the authorities to take immediate steps towards a settlement. Many other doctors' bodies have also voiced their support.
