Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors to Withdraw Emergency Services from Monday Over Stipend Demand

Junior doctors across 19 government medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh will withdraw emergency services starting Monday in an escalation of their ongoing agitation for increased stipends. The strike will affect critical departments including the Intensive Care Unit, Casualty, and Labour Room.

The Andhra Pradesh Junior Doctors' Association cited the state government's failure to respond to their demands as the reason for intensifying the protest. The association had previously been engaged in negotiations but decided to escalate action after a lack of progress.
