Hyderabad: The protests by doctors and staff of Osmania General Hospital has entered its 50th day, but there is no response from the government yet. The joint action committee of OGH is going to escalate their protest further for a new building. Dr P. Naik, incharge of the joint action committee said, “We cannot work in the old building any more. The Chief Minister had promised us a new OGH building, we want the promise to be implemented.”
The doctors, staff and nurses have reached a consensus that a new building must be constructed and it is for the government to decide on the heritage structure. A senior doctor explained, “The government has to separate the two issues. Heritage is one aspect and medical care is another. We need better infrastructure for OGH and that has to be provided. For that the right utilisation of the existing space has to be done.”
