Stipend Delays Impact Junior Doctors, Scholarships Unpaid
Imagine doctors who are still learning, like junior doctors and interns, are supposed to get more money (stipends) for their work.
But the money hasn't arrived.
Also, some students are waiting for money to pay for school.
This is a problem because these doctors and students need money to live.
The doctors met with the health boss to ask for the money and other things to help them, like better hospitals.
The boss said they would try to fix the money problem and other problems.
Junior doctors in government colleges await promised stipend hikes from January.
Interns in private medical colleges have not received any stipend.
Students from minority, SC, ST, and BC categories face delays in scholarships and reimbursements.
The GO for increasing senior residents' honorarium is not yet enforced.
TJUDA met with the Health Minister to address the issues.
