Dehradun, October 16 

Members of the Provincial Medical and Health Services (PMHS) will boycott the OPD on October 19 and 20. The decision was taken at the working committee meeting of PMHS doctors. Dr NS Bisht, coordinator of the working committee, said they had decided to boycott OPD as they were not adequately compensated for two days when public offices were closed in the state. 

“The OPDs will remain closed on October 19 and 20. In the past we have urged the government to compensate the doctors in the form of extra leave or monetary compensation but the government has not accepted our demand,” said Bisht.

However, the emergency and postmortem services will continue uninterrupted.

Meanwhile, the government is yet to formulate a strategy for the two day OPD boycott call by the doctors.
