Madhya Pradesh Medical Interns Request Stipend Increase from Rs 14,337 to Rs 30,000
The Indian Medical Association's Junior Doctors Network in Madhya Pradesh has formally requested the state government to increase the monthly stipend for MBBS interns from Rs 14,337 to Rs 30,000. They highlight interns' extensive duties across hospital departments, including emergency and operation theatres, often involving long hours. The current stipend is considered insufficient amid rising living costs and is lower than in other states. The association urges a government meeting with intern representatives to address this issue promptly and notes the interns' disciplined approach in raising their demands.
