Overview
- OMC JUDA set the protest to start at 8:30 a.m. at the main gate of Osmania General Hospital on Monday and called on interns, undergraduate students, postgraduate residents and senior residents to participate.
- The association suspended elective OPD and elective OT procedures during the protest while directing members to keep emergency and essential patient services running.
- Protesting doctors say chronic shortages of essential medicines, consumables and non‑functional specialised services such as the Cath Lab, cardiothoracic surgery and CRRT have limited treatment and hands‑on learning.
- OMC JUDA says repeated representations to hospital and state health authorities have gone unresolved and it is seeking written, time‑bound assurances and release of pending funds to restore services.
- Junior doctors at other Telangana government medical colleges have not yet decided to join, a choice that could determine whether the action escalates beyond Osmania and increases pressure on officials.
