In a significant show of dissent, doctors across various medical associations in Hyderabad staged a black badge protest at all government medical colleges on Wednesday. The demonstration was led by government doctors who are opposing the recent Telangana government order, referred to as GO 229.
The contested order has nominated four ex officio members to the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) Medical Council. This move has sparked widespread protests among the medical fraternity, leading to the peaceful demonstration at several government medical institutions across the city.
The doctors have announced that they will continue their protest from January 7, expressing their firm opposition to GO 229. The ongoing dispute underscores the importance of maintaining a balance between government authority and professional autonomy within the medical sector.
Health News will continue to monitor this developing situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
