Andhra Pradesh Resident Doctors Continue Strike Over Stipend and Service Demands
Resident doctors in Andhra Pradesh have continued their strike demanding a 30% stipend hike, opposing MSc and PhD recruitments, and resisting the proposed retirement age increase to 65. The Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors' Association (APJUDA) announced a complete withdrawal of non-emergency services from August 12, while emergency care remains operational. The strike follows unsuccessful talks with the government, which offered a 3% stipend increase. Doctors cite delayed stipend revisions and increased workloads as key issues driving the protest.
