Osmania junior doctors to protest on October 12 over training, working conditions
According to an official strike notice issued on October 10, the protest will begin at 8.30 a.m. at the main gate of Osmania General Hospital
On October 12, the Osmania Medical College Junior Doctors Association (OMC JUDA) plans to hold a protest at Osmania General Hospital (OGH) in Hyderabad. The demonstration seeks urgent attention to unresolved matters concerning postgraduate training, clinical learning, working conditions and patient care. According to the group's strike notice, the protest will commence at 8.30 a.m. at the main entrance of OGH.
The OMC JUDA has called upon interns, undergraduate students, postgraduate residents, senior residents, and representatives from every department to join the protest in significant numbers.
The association has highlighted several critical issues that continue to impact hospital departments and the quality of postgraduate training. Despite multiple appeals to authorities, these problems persist. The OMC JUDA has requested all departments to temporarily stop elective outpatient department (OPD) services and elective operation theatre (OT) procedures during the protest, ensuring that emergency services and essential patient care remain uninterrupted.
The protest is not directed at any specific individual or department; rather, it aims to safeguard the dignity of residents, provide an appropriate learning environment, enhance clinical training, and secure the necessary infrastructure for secure and effective patient care.
