The announcement has come at a time when Jharkhand is seeing greater than 100 deaths per day with greater than 45,000 whole energetic circumstances.
However, the announcement means ‘nothing’ to frontline well being staff who’ve been operating from pillar to put up to get their salaries in addition to their incentives.
Jharkhand AIDS Control Society Employees Association General Secretary Rana Chandan Singh, who at present works as a lab technician in Gumla district gathering and testing Covid-19 samples, mentioned that salaries haven’t been paid for the previous three months.
He added: “The announcement means nothing if our salaries are not paid in these troubled times.”
Ranchi Sadar Hospital, which make use of 50 group well being officers (CHO) from totally different blocks as nurses, is reeling with issues as many nurses have gone on a strike over non-payment of incentives. The CHOs are given month-to-month incentive of Rs 15,000 over their salaries.
Deputy Medical Superintendent Sabasychi Mandal mentioned: “The CHOs have been demanding their due and I think it has been pending for the past six months.”
Mandal mentioned that the scenario in Sadar hospital is ‘not good’ as there are solely ‘two doctors’ per shift for 30 sufferers. He added: “We need 1-17kg oxygen cylinders per day, but we get only half of the amount. This is creating chaos at the hospital as we are not being able to give oxygen with full flow to the patients.”
