FOGDA urges TN govt to consider their charter of demands

Chennai, Feb 3 (UNI) Recalling the yeoman services rendered
by the healthcare workers and doctors during the COVID-19
pandemic, the Federation of Government Doctors Associations
(FOGDA) today urged the Tamil Nadu government to consider
their nine-point charter of demands.
FOGDA is an umbrella body of various doctors associations
in the State, including the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors
Association (TNGDA).
Talking to reporters here, TNGDA President Dr P Balakrishnan
said considering the fact that the government doctors risked
their lives and offered treatment to COVID patients, the
government should concde their long pending demand of
implementing the Pay Ban 4 and 12 scheme.
The FOGDA also urged the government to promulgate an
Ordinance in the ongoing Assembly session providing 50
per cent quota for PG and higher medical courses and
hold counselling in the current year itself based on the
existing 50 per cent quota, besides counselling for
transfer of Professors and Assistant Professors.
Apart from increasing the doctor-patient ratio, the state
government should honour its promise of special pay to
the doctors, compensation of Rs two lakh to those who were
infected by the pandemic and Rs 50 lakh compensation to
those who lost their lives.
The Association also wanted the Government to issue afresh
a Government Order providing corpus fund for doctors,
increment for PG medical students and fix normal fees for
protesting students of Chidambaram Raja Muthiah Medical
College.
Dr Balakrishnan said if the government did not concede their
demands, the members of FOGDA would discuss the matter
at its Executive Committee and chalk out the future course of
action.
