MIMSR Medical College & YCR Hospital: The interns of the hospital have withdrawn their services from OPDs, departments, wards and other services from July 18 until they will get a written assurance of fulfilment of their demands.

The letter of intimation reads, "We have made sincere appeals regarding granting us stipend according to NMC CRMI Guidelines - 2021, published on November 18, 2021, which states in Regulation-3 of Schedule-IV- All interns shall be paid as fixed by the appropriate fee fixation authority applicable to the institution/University/State."

Interns withdraw services after multiple appeals

The interns said that it's been more than a month that they have made multiple requests and official appeals and have protested silently but their demands remained unheard. Hence, they have now withdrawn all their services from July 18 until they will get the written assurance of confirmation of fulfilment of their demands.

They also added that other government-aided private medical colleges under MUHS who were not given any stipend until last year, have granted a stipend to interns since this year based on the guidelines.

Dr Rohan Krishnan, the National President of FAIMA India tweeted, "Hundreds of interns are sitting on protest and strike at Maharastra based MIMSR college. Their demand being straight and simple that college should give them stipend for internship periods as per norms fixed. Kindly look into the matter . @CMOMaharashtra @MoHFW_INDIA @NMC_IND"
