Government general hospital in Vijayawada faces shortage of nursing orderlies and support staff
Vijayawada: Shortage of female nursing orderlies (FNOs) and male nursing orderlies (MNOs) at the Vijayawada govt general hospital (GGH) often forces patient attenders to handle patient mobility themselves. This includes shifting patients from hospital wards to scan centres and diagnostic labs using wheelchairs and stretchers. Moreover, complaints about these healthcare assistants demanding money from patients and their attenders in exchange for assistance with patient mobility continue to emerge from time to time, as the govt hospital struggles with a shortage of support staff. "The GGH has 106 FNOs/MNOs rendering services as healthcare assistants for patient care. Of the total 106 strength, four assistants went on long leave and did not attend their duties over the last few months. With the limited availability of the healthcare assistants, the hospital management is assisting patients using most of their services during the daytime to maximise the benefit in patient care," said GGH health inspector Somaraju. At the GGH, the authorities allocated duties to FNOs/MNOs in three shifts (i.e., by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo shift A, B, C) wherein shift A starts at 8 am and ends at 2 pm, while shift B starts at 2 pm and ends at 8 pm. In the third shift, which is shift C, the assistants have to be on a 12-hour night duty from 8 pm to 8 am. Each FNO/MNO is paid Rs 13,000 net salary excluding Rs 2,000 PF, ESI, and other deductions. According to the health inspector, the GGH needs around 300 to 350 FNOs/MNOs daily to ensure uninterrupted healthcare services to the patients. However, the shortage of healthcare assistants continues to plague the patients from accessing healthcare services. "The issue has been there for many months and health minister Y Satya Kumar Yadav, during a recent inspection of the GGH, took stock of the healthcare assistants shortage and promised to fill all the assistant vacancies across all govt hospitals in the state. We are waiting for the health department to take up a state-wide drive to fill the vacant healthcare assistant posts in hospitals," health inspector Somaraju said. GGH superintendent Dr AV Rao said: "We have proposed to form an agency and recruit FNO/MNO workers on an outsourcing basis as the govt recruitment drive is getting delayed. Proposals have been sent in that regard and we are waiting for the govt's response as it is again the state govt's duty to form an agency and recruit assistants on an outsourcing basis. We are hoping that the issue will be resolved soon as the health minister and department are working to address the assistants shortage issue at the GGHs. "

Nurses' strike enters day 3: Healthcare system under strain in Vidarbha
1 2 3 4 5 Nagpur/Yavatmal: As the indefinite strike by govt nurses entered its third day on Saturday, critical healthcare services across Maharashtra remained in turmoil. In major urban hospitals like Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) and Mayo in Nagpur, as well as rural districts such as Yavatmal and Akola, the absence of nursing staff caused widespread disruption, delaying surgeries and forcing relatives to step in for basic patient care. On Saturday, the strike also witnessed a new twist as GMCH authorities issued a circular — based on a DMER directive — warning that newly recruited probationary nurses participating in the strike could face 'break in service' under Rule 43(2) of the Maharashtra Civil Services Rules, 1994. The move created panic among probationers, but state-level leaders of the nurses' union, including president Manisha Shinde and general secretary Sumitra Tote, swiftly assured all members that legal protection would be provided and no employee would be left behind. "This is not just about pay. It's a battle for respect, security, and the future of every nurse. We will not back down," said Shinde, addressing protesting nurses at GMCH. Rural healthcare too feels the pinch in Yavatmal Meanwhile, in Yavatmal district, nursing services in govt hospitals have also come to a halt, further straining rural healthcare delivery. Nurses working as seniors, public health nurses, and instructors are actively participating in the strike. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "The govt must listen. Patients are suffering, yes, but we've been suffering silently for years," said Suresh Madankar, a senior nurse and union representative in Yavatmal. "This strike is our last resort," he added. To manage the crisis, authorities in Nagpur have deployed around 70 nursing students and 40 temporary aides, but their efforts are insufficient given the scale of the disruption. The association maintains that services will not resume unless their core demands — including salary parity under the 7th Pay Commission — are accepted. What Next? As the standoff continues with no fresh dialogue from the govt, the strike threatens to deepen the healthcare crisis across Maharashtra. With both urban and rural hospitals under pressure, the onus now lies on the state authorities to open negotiations and prevent further collapse of essential services.

Trichy hospital under lens in illegal kidney racket case
Trichy/Salem: Health officials are investigating a private hospital in Trichy after its name came up during the ongoing inquiry into an illegal kidney sale racket case filed in Namakkal district. Private hospitals in Perambalur and Erode have also been named. The health department has directed an Erode-based kidney hospital to limit its operations to dialysis only, prohibiting any surgical procedures until further notice. The case was filed after video clips of donors surfaced on social media along with reports that workers employed in powerloom units and dyeing mills in Pallipalayam and nearby areas in Namakkal were being lured by brokers to sell their kidneys for 5–10 lakh. Dr Meenakshi, additional director of legal medicine, is leading a team of health department officials in the investigations. She has been examining Abhirami Kidney Care Hospital in Erode over the past two days. Officials, however, said only one private hospital in Trichy, where surgeries for removing kidney were allegedly performed on the donors before it was transferred to a third party, is being probed as of Saturday. "During an inquiry on Friday, we have sought an explanation from the hospital authorities," state director of medical health services J Rajamoorthy told TOI. As of Saturday, Namakkal health officials have identified one donor who had donated a kidney through a broker last August. Officials said they had received information that six people had donated kidneys from the Pallipalayam area. "But the documents of five of them appeared to be fake as we could not trace them. We were able to identify only one on Friday night and obtain a formal statement. The person had stated that the surgery was done at a private hospital in Perambalur," said Rajmohan, the joint director of health services, Namakkal. Namakkal police are on the lookout for a broker named M Anandan. One of the kidney donors, Kowsalya Pandian, 36, told TOI that she donated her one kidney to a female patient from Thanjavur district a few months ago. She said that broker Anandhan received Rs10 lakh from the recipient and gave her Rs6.5 lakh. "I received Rs1.5 lakh as initial payment and Rs5 lakh after the surgery," she said. Meanwhile, CPM state secretary P Shanmugam expressed concern at power loom workers being compelled to sell their kidneys due to insufficient income and unemployment. He recalled that earlier too, the workers fell victim to moneylenders and resorted to selling their kidneys. He sought immediate action against those responsible for the exploitation and stringent steps against hospitals resorting to such practices.
