Kiphire medical staff to mark protest from today

Medical staff of District Hospital Kiphire expressed resentment over the alleged “manhandling and use of derogatory words against Doctors and Nurses of DHK without any rhyme or reason and including the unfortunate incidents on the night of April 28 last by some miscreants”.

Chairman Action Committee, DHK H. Tsipongchum and secretary Khusutho said an emergency meeting was held on May 1 where the house unanimously decided to protest in the form of wearing black badge w.e.f. May 2, 6 a.m. to May 3 6 a.m. without hampering the normal functioning of the hospital.

Meanwhile, a joint meeting of various NGO leaders from Kiphire town has been convened May 3. Sources said the protest may intensify if appropriate corrective measures are not taken to create a congenial working environment for the hospital staff by the concerned authority/organization. In this regard, the staff of DHK appealed to all concerned to bear with them for the inconvenience.
