Mangaluru: As many as 54 house surgeons from Kasturba Medical College, serving at Government Wenlock Hosptial, Lady Goschen and primary health centres staged a protest near the casualty of the Wenlock Hospital on Wednesday, February 12.
It is gathered that 54 house surgeons, who have studied MBBS under the government quota, have not received their stipend from 11 months. They have to get a monthly stipend of ₹20,000 during their one-year internship at the government hospital.
The protesting house surgeons alleged that their stipends have not been released despite Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s written order dated December 24.
This has been the third year in succession that payment of stipend has been delayed. The Medical Education Department paid the stipend till March 2019 and asked the Health and Family Welfare Department, under which the two government hospitals fall, to pay for the forthcoming months.
