The impact has been less in Imphal as the premier healthcare institutes - JNIMS and RIMS continued to function smoothly
Health services across Manipur, baring the capital city of Imphal, was severely affected as doctors under the All Manipur Health Services Doctors Association began their indefinite shutdown of all health services from today.
According to reports coming in from the capital city of Imphal, the shutdown did not have much impact here. Services were moving on smoothly in the 2 premier health institutes of JNIMS and RIMS. Availability of healthcare services in the private hospitals in the capital city too is coming to the aid of the patients.
However, patients had to face a tough time since the shutdown evoked total response in Senapati district as agitating doctors declined to enroll patients in the OPD services.
Briefing media persons, Lolee P. Mao, General Secretary of AMHSDA alleged, “enough time was given to the state government for the fulfilement of the demands which has been never done till date.”
The agitating doctors are demanding time-bound promotion, the extension of superannuation age to 65 years, making the non-practicing allowance effective from January 1, 2016 as per the 7th Pay Commission, and amending the “outdated” Manipur Health Services Rules, 1972.
