AIIMS had appealed to nurses to reconsider their strike in view of the COVID-19 situation.
The AIIMS nurses union, which has started an indefinite strike, today blamed the hospital authorities for the suffering of the patients. Stung by a widely circulated video of unattended patients inside a ward of the hospital, the striking nurses in a statement this afternoon, said the hospital authorities are putting the patients at risk with their plans to recruit nurses on contract who are unskilled and inexperienced .
Accusing the hospital of cruelty and negligent behavior , the nurses union said the plan was anti-labour as contractual employees always get low salaries.
