Not just Covid, India’s junior doctors are also struggling with pay cuts & delayed salaries Sravasti Dasgupta © Provided by The Print New Delhi: To tackle the massive second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital one of the country’s largest central government-run facilities is recruiting junior and senior resident doctors on a contractual basis. They are to be deployed at a new 46-bed makeshift Covid facility expected to come up in the hospital premises. While Safdarjung Hospital has invited applications for 96 posts, the salary on offer has outraged resident doctors, who say the stipend on offer is Rs 25,000-35,000 less than what they would get before the pandemic. They also say that the circular is only the latest example of the government’s insensitivity to the financial instability that doctors are facing since Covid-19 struck.
