On Monday, morning over 80 percent government doctors participated in the strike, which badly affected all the government hospitals. The strike was called off after the government promised to fulfill their demands.
APGDA had instructed the doctors to take mass casual leave and paste it on the notice boards at the entrance. Due to the strike no patient was admitted, no surgeries were conducted, except for the emergencies, pregnant women had to wait and were sent away after being given only the medicines where as at the teaching hospitals, the outer patient wards were without doctors.
When, later in the day, the Health Minister S Chandrasekhar gave assurance that their demands would be accepted within a week, the strike was postponed.
