KGMOA protests staffing shortages in Kerala's health sector

The Kerala Government Medical Officers’ Association (KGMOA) plans to protest on March 18 outside the Director of Health Services (DHS) office. The protest will address staffing shortages and disciplinary actions against doctors. KGMOA highlights over 500 doctor vacancies in the Health department, leading to increased workloads for existing staff. They also oppose disciplinary measures against doctors who declined VIP duties. Additionally, the KGMOA criticizes the government's failure to complete general transfers scheduled for April. The protest will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
