Stir continues at SSG, GMERS hospitals

Vadodara: Despite meeting with the state government, the stalemate over various demands of doctor faculties of SSG Hospital (SSGH) and GMERS Gotri Hospital as well as the nursing staff at the Gotri hospital continued even on Thursday.

Sources said that the teachers of the two hospitals met state government officials, but except for commitments made to resolve the remaining issues, important issues remained unresolved. The agitation at SSGH is being conducted by the Gujarat Medical Teachers Association (GMTA) while that of teachers at the college affiliated to the Gotri hospital is being conducted by the GMERS Faculty Association. The nurses at the Gotri hospital have also rallied together under the banner of the GMERS Nurses Association.

The medical teachers and nurses at the Gotri hospital are already on a strike. SSGH doctors have stayed away from non-Covid duties and have threatened to boycott Covid duties as well. At the other end, nurses of SSGH have also threatened to go on an agitation.

The doctors as well as nurses are unhappy over their long-pending demands not being fulfilled. In case of GMTA, the government agreed to some demands but is dragging its feet on four major demands. GMTA has decided to continue its agitation for now.
