Jayanagar Hospital OPD Services Briefly Disrupted by Salary Protest
At a hospital in Bengaluru, the people who enter patient information into computers didn't get paid for a while.
They decided to protest, which caused some problems with the regular doctor visits.
They said they were owed money for four months.
The hospital said it was closer to three months due to a misunderstanding.
The hospital said the money was sent to the people who give them money, but the recipient was sick, which caused the delay.
They worked things out and the hospital promised the workers would be paid soon, hopefully by Friday.
The workers went back to work because they did not want to hurt patients.
Outpatient services at Jayanagar Hospital in Bengaluru were briefly disrupted.
14 data entry operators protested unpaid salaries, some owed for four months.
The operators had alerted the administration about the protest three days prior.
Finance staff managed patient registration during the disruption.
The hospital superintendent stated the issue was resolved, with salaries due by Friday.
