September:- Despite the continuing strike, the
Institute’s administration ensured smooth running of all hospital services including
emergency and OPD services with the help of regular nursing staff who reported
on duty and students of National Institute of Nursing Education (NINE). The number
of OPD registrations from 8am to 10.30am was
6400 which is similar to the number registered routinely on Saturdays and
around100 patients were admitted in the indoor units. With regards to surgical
operations, 60 surgeries were done. In order to give priority to emergency
surgeries, few elective surgeries were curtailed. The Institute administration
called representatives of nursing welfare association and tried to convince
them to call off the strike in the larger interest of patient care. The stand
of nursing associations of AIIMS, New Delhi and JIPMER, Pondicherry and other
Institutes of national importance of not joining the strike was also discussed
with them but they did not agree to resume their duties. In view of the above,
PGI administration continues to adhere to its stance of ‘No work no pay’ for
absenteeism and also contemplated further measures as per government service
rules.
