Junior doctors of RIMS-Adilabad join State-level strike
Their strike caused inconvenience to outpatients who visited the institute for medical services in the morning hours.
Adilabad: Junior doctors studying post-graduation in medicine and undergoing house surgeon training at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) joined the State-level strike seeking various demands by boycotting outpatient services here on Monday.
Their strike caused inconvenience to outpatients who visited the institute for medical services in the morning hours. Not only hundreds of tribals dwelling in remote parts of erstwhile Adilabad district, but people from the neighbouring Maharashtra depend on the RIMS for treatment for seasonal diseases and medical emergencies every day. However, officials of the institute made alternative arrangements.
