Outpatient Services Disrupted as Doctors Strike in Telangana Continues for Sixth Day

HYDERABAD: Outpatient services at major government hospitals in the city are facing significant disruptions as the Telangana Junior Doctors’ Association (T-JUDA) continues its strike for the sixth consecutive day, affecting OP and elective OT services.
With junior doctors on strike, senior doctors and faculty members are stepping in to manage the essential services. Despite these efforts, the protests have led to considerable challenges in maintaining hospital operations.
On Monday, junior doctors from Gandhi and Osmania Hospitals held a combined protest at Osmania Medical College, marking a new phase in their ongoing demonstration.
JUDA members have expressed their commitment to support hospital operations as needed, despite the boycott. Osmania General Hospital Superintendent Dr. Rakesh Sahay assured that, thanks to the senior doctors and faculty, outpatient services are being managed effectively, and no major disruptions have been reported.
At Gandhi Hospital, the state’s largest tertiary care facility, outpatient services continue to operate smoothly with the help of senior medical staff. Superintendent Dr. C. Rajakumari urged the public not to panic, emphasizing that services remain in place despite the ongoing protests.
NIMS has adjusted its outpatient timings to 8-11 am due to the strike. Additional Medical Superintendent at NIMS reported a 30-35% reduction in OP services and noted a decrease in patient visits as the situation has become more widely known.
JUDA has stated that the strike will persist indefinitely unless the government takes concrete steps to address their demands.
