Medicos continue stir as talks fail

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The strike called by the Post Graduates’ Association at the Medical College Hospital (MCH) continues as talks held between the Association and the Special Secretary (Health) Usha Titus did not yield any result. City Police Commissioner Ravada Chandrasekhar also attended the talks.

The doctors were continuing their talks with Health Minister P.K. Sreemathy late into night on Thursday.

The doctors had called a flash strike in protest against the attack on a duty doctor by some miscreants at the casualty wing on Wednesday.

It was following the assault on duty doctor at the casualty last week that the MCH authorities, in consultation with the City Police Commissioner, decided to have a permanent aid post with two police personnel at the casualty. The presence of the police personnel and the hospital’s security staff failed to deter a group of youth from attacking the duty doctor again.
