In a major relief for the hospital administration, the agitating junior doctors of the Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Science and Research (VIMSAR) on Tuesday called off their cease-work agitation.
The junior medicos put their stir on hold after a meeting with the Central Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC) AB Ota who is in charge of western division. The meeting was attended by Health Department Joint Secretary, the VIMSAR authorities and representatives of Junior Doctors’ Association (JDA).
The medicos had resorted to agitation for the fourth time demanding installation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine, delegation of financial and administrative power to VIMSAR authorities, strengthening of security on the hospital premises, round-the-clock water and electricity supply to operation theatre, labour room, Special Newborn Care Unit, ICU, medicine wards, hostels, hike in library fund and increase in library staff, filling up of vacant teaching and non-teaching posts, making the Regional Diagnostic Centre (RDC) functional round- the-clock and establishment of a good canteen for doctors.
