Imphal, February 14 2023:
Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Sapam Ranjan has urged the All Manipur Health Services Doctors' Association (AMHSDA) to call off its indefinite shutdown strike which started today.
Speaking to reporters at his office at the Secretariat North Block, Dr S Ranjan said the demands raised by the AMHSDA are "legitimate" and the Government is "discussing" them.
While there has been a delay in taking a decision on the demands due to "some reasons," a clear answer was given in the Assembly Session recently, he said appealing to the association to call off its stir.
Replying to a question, the Minister said while the stir has affected OPD services, it has not yet affected emergency services in Government hospitals.
