Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors to Withdraw Emergency Services from Monday

Doctors in Andhra Pradesh who are still training are called junior doctors.

They work very hard in hospitals, taking care of sick people.

They asked the government to pay them a better training stipend.

The doctors wanted the government to promise in writing, with a clear date, that the better payment would happen.

The government did not give them that written promise by the deadline.

So the doctors decided to stop doing some of their hospital work.

They will stop working in the emergency room, the intensive care unit, and the labour room where babies are born.

The doctors say they are sorry this may make it harder for patients.

They are asking the government to talk and solve the problem quickly.
