The resident doctors who are deployed on COVID duty in the RUHS hospital have threatened to resign if their issues were not addressed and resolved. Anaesthesia department doctors have written a letter to the principal of the SMS Medical College alleging discrimination against them.

In the letter, they mentioned that after their COVID duties, they were given duties in the routine works of the hospital along with day and night duty, causing enormous stress on them.

According to the government order, residents from all the departments are involved in COVID-related duty, but residents of the anaesthesia department are repetitively given duty. These residents have demanded that the residents from other departments also should also be given such duties.
