.@ncbn garu, will you force junior doctors, who save lives, onto the streets and put the lives of poor patients at risk?

Nearly 9,000 interns, postgraduate doctors, super-speciality doctors and senior residents from 19 government medical colleges across the State have been protesting for the past two weeks. Why have you not responded to them? Why have you withheld the stipend revision that, as per the rules, should have come into effect from January 1?

GO No. 287 provides for a 15 percent increase in the stipend of junior doctors every two years. During our tenure, we went beyond this and increased the stipend by 42.4 per cent. We also recognised those pursuing super-speciality courses as Senior Residents and, considering their request, increased their stipend beyond the prescribed level, resulting in an overall increase of 77 percent. We also increased the stipends of AYUSH junior doctors on par with those of allopathic junior doctors. When junior doctors are seeking an increase of more than 15 per cent, considering rising prices, inflation and the increased cost of living, is it not unfair that you say you will increase their stipends by only 3 to 5 per cent?

Government teaching hospitals depend heavily on the hard work of junior doctors to provide medical services. Now, due to the strike, even emergency services such as casualty, ICUs and labour rooms are being affected, causing serious hardship to poor patients. Is your government's stubborn attitude not responsible for this situation, Chandrababu garu?

Aarogyasri network hospitals are already struggling because of the dues accumulated under your government. On the other hand, you have severely weakened the government healthcare system. In an unprecedented initiative in the country's history, we took up 17 new government medical colleges at one time. We completed five of them and started classes. We also made another medical college ready for classes, bringing a total of six colleges into operation. Instead of completing the remaining colleges, you are trying to sell them off.

As if this were not enough, you have stopped the remaining Nadu-Nedu works in government teaching hospitals and other hospitals. Government hospitals are struggling due to the lack of medicines meeting WHO/GMP standards. You have abandoned the zero-vacancy policy. You are gradually reducing the nearly 50,000 healthcare personnel appointed during our government.

You have weakened the Family Doctor programme. You have removed specialist doctors from Community Health Centres. You have rendered Village and Urban Clinics ineffective. You have severely weakened Aarogyasri and accumulated dues of more than Rs 3,000 crore. The damage you have caused to the public healthcare system is immense. Now, by dealing with junior doctors with the same arrogance, you are pushing even the remaining medical services beyond the reach of poor people.

Chandrababu garu, at least now, give up this arrogance. Immediately invite representatives of the junior doctors for talks and resolve their legitimate demands. Increase their stipends to an appropriate level, bring the strike to an end and ensure that poor patients do not face any inconvenience in government hospitals.

.@ncbn గారూ… ప్రాణాలు కాపాడే జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్లను రోడ్డెక్కించి, పేద రోగుల ప్రాణాలతో చెలగాటమాడతారా?

రాష్ట్రంలోని 19 ప్రభుత్వ మెడికల్‌ కాలేజీలకు చెందిన దాదాపు 9 వేల మంది ఇంటర్న్‌లు, పీజీలు, సూపర్‌ స్పెషాలిటీ, సీనియర్‌ రెసిడెంట్‌ డాక్టర్లు రెండు వారాలుగా ఆందోళన చేస్తున్నా మీరు ఎందుకు స్పందించడం లేదు? నిబంధనల ప్రకారం జనవరి 1 నుంచి అమలుకావాల్సిన స్టైపెండ్‌ సవరణను ఎందుకు నిలిపివేశారు?

జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్లకు జీవో నంబర్‌ 287 నిర్దేశించిన 15శాతం కంటే అధికంగా మా హయాంలో 42.4 శాతం పెంచాం. సూపర్‌ స్పెషాల్టీ కోర్సును అభ్యసిస్తున్న వారిని సీనియర్‌ రెసిడెంట్స్‌గా గురిస్తూ, వారి విజ్ఞప్తినికూడా పరిగణలోకి తీసుకుని నిర్దేశించిన దానికంటే పెంచి, మొత్తంగా 77శాతం వారికి పెంచాం. ఆయుష్‌ విభాగానికి చెందిన జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్లకు కూడా అల్లోపతి జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్ల తరహాలోనే స్టైపెండ్ పెంచాం. పెరిగిన ధరలు, ద్రవ్యోల్బణం, జీవన వ్యయాన్ని పరిగణనలోకి తీసుకుని 15 శాతం కంటే మెరుగైన పెంపు ఇవ్వాలని జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్లు కోరుతుంటే, కేవలం 3 నుంచి 5 శాతం మాత్రమే పెంచుతామని చెప్పడం అన్యాయం కాదా?

జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్ల శ్రమతోనే ప్రభుత్వ బోధనాసుపత్రుల్లో వైద్యసేవలు నడుస్తున్నాయి. ఇప్పుడు సమ్మె కారణంగా క్యాజువాలిటీ, ఐసీయూ, లేబర్‌ రూమ్‌ వంటి అత్యవసర సేవలకూ అంతరాయం ఏర్పడి పేద రోగులు తీవ్రంగా ఇబ్బందిపడుతున్నారు. ఈ పరిస్థితికి మీ ప్రభుత్వ మొండివైఖరే కారణం కాదా చంద్రబాబుగారూ?

ఇప్పటికే మీరు పెట్టిన బకాయిలతో ఆరోగ్యశ్రీ నెట్‌ వర్క్‌ ఆస్పత్రులు చేతులు ఎత్తేశాయి. మరోవంక ప్రభుత్వ వైద్యరంగాన్ని మీరు దారుణంగా దెబ్బతీశారు. దేశ చరిత్రలో ఎక్కడా లేనివిధంగా మేం ఒకేసారి 17 కొత్త ప్రభుత్వ మెడికల్‌ కాలేజీలను తీసుకొచ్చి, ఐదింటిని పూర్తిచేసి క్లాసులుకూడా ప్రారంభిస్తే, మరో కాలేజీని క్లాసులకు సిద్ధంచేసి, మొత్తంగా ఆరు అందుబాటులోకి తెచ్చాం. మిగిలిన వాటిని పూర్తిచేయాల్సిందిపోయి, వాటిని తెగనమ్మడానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తున్నారు. ఇదిసరిపోక ప్రభుత్వ బోధనాసుపత్రులు, ఇతర ఆస్పత్రుల్లో మిగిలిన నాడు–నేడు పనులను మీరు నిలిపివేశారు. WHO/GMP ప్రమాణాలు ఉండే మందులు లేక గవర్నమెంటు ఆస్పత్రులు విలవిల్లాడుతున్నాయి. జీరో వేకెన్సీ పాలసీకి మంగళం పాడారు. వైద్యరంగంలో మేం నియమించిన 50 వేల మంది సిబ్బందిని క్రమంగా తగ్గిస్తున్నారు.

ఫ్యామిలీ డాక్టర్‌ విధానానికి గండికొట్టారు. సీహెచ్‌సీల్లో స్పెషలిస్ట్‌ డాక్టర్లను తొలగించారు. విలేజ్‌, అర్బన్‌ క్లినిక్‌లను నిర్వీర్యం చేశారు. ఆరోగ్యశ్రీని దారుణంగా దెబ్బతీసి రూ.3 వేల కోట్లకుపైగా బకాయిలు పెట్టారు. ప్రజారోగ్య వ్యవస్థలో మీరు సృష్టించిన విధ్వంసం అంతా ఇంతా కాదు. ఇప్పుడు జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్ల విషయంలోనూ అహంకారంతో వ్యవహరిస్తూ, మిగిలిన వైద్యసేవలను కూడా పేదలకు దూరం చేస్తున్నారు.

చంద్రబాబుగారూ… ఇప్పటికైనా అహంకారం వీడండి. జూనియర్‌ డాక్టర్ల ప్రతినిధులను వెంటనే చర్చలకు పిలిచి, వారి న్యాయమైన డిమాండ్లను పరిష్కరించండి. తగిన స్థాయిలో స్టైపెండ్‌ను పెంచి, సమ్మెను విరమింపజేసి, ప్రభుత్వ ఆస్పత్రుల్లో పేద రోగులకు ఎలాంటి ఇబ్బందులూ లేకుండా చూడండి.

ఇవిగో మా హయాంలో మేం పెంచిన స్టైపెండ్ వివరాలు- https://t.co/CA1rqb7lnk

Hon’ble DCM @PawanKalyan Garu, @APJUDAOfficial brings to your notice the long-pending stipend revision (eff. 01.01.2026). Resident doctors have been working tirelessly while waiting for a resolution.

We deferred action earlier respecting official requests, but lack of concrete progress forces us into a phased agitation from Aug 10. We seek your supportive intervention to help us serve without disruption.

Respected @PawanKalyan Garu, the AP Junior Doctors Association ( @apjuda1 ) — representing House Surgeons, Postgraduates, Super Speciality Postgraduates and Senior Resident Doctors across the state —seeks your kind attention. As a leader who always stands by the working class, we bring a critical issue to your notice.

Junior doctors are the frontline backbone of AP’s public healthcare system, pulling strenuous 24/7 duties. However, the Government approved periodic stipend enhancement which is due from January 2026, has remained completely unresolved for more than 7 months, despite multiple official representations and repeated verbal assurances.

With a steep pay disparity growing between AP & neighboring Telangana (up to a 37% gap), our medical fraternity faces heavy financial distress. We earnestly request your urgent intervention to expedite this pending G.O. and deliver justice to our doctors. Detailed representation attached. 🙏🩺

Respected @ncbn Garu, the AP Junior Doctors Association ( @apjuda1 )— representing House Surgeons, PGs, SS PGs and Senior Resident Doctors across our Government Medical Colleges—seeks your urgent, kind attention to a pressing institutional grievance.

Junior doctors are the backbone of public healthcare delivery in AP. However, the Government approved periodic stipend enhancement has remained completely unresolved for more than 7 months, despite multiple official representations and repeated administrative assurances.

With a severe pay disparity widening between AP & neighboring Telangana (up to a 37% gap in Super-Specialty/SR cadres), we face intense financial strain. We earnestly request your visionary leadership to expedite the pending G.O. and protect our state's medical workforce.

The AP Junior Doctors Association ( @apjuda1 ) represents the collective voice of House Surgeons, PGs, Super Speciality PGs and Senior Resident Doctors across AP.

Junior doctors are the frontline backbone of AP’s public healthcare system. However, the Government approved periodic stipend enhancement which is due from January 2026, has remained completely unresolved for more than 7 months now, despite multiple representations (dating back to Dec 2025) and repeated administrative verbal assurances.

With a massive pay disparity growing between AP & neighboring Telangana (up to 37%), our medical fraternity faces severe financial distress. We earnestly request your urgent intervention to expedite the G.O. and resolve this long-pending issue. Detailed representation attached. 🙏🩺

Respected @satyakumar_y Garu!
@APJUDA respectfully submits this reminder regarding the long-pending proposed 30% stipend enhancement for Junior Doctors in AP Government Medical Colleges.

Despite multiple representations (Ref: Letter- 12/2026-27, dated:18-06-2026 ), no formal orders or written communications have been issued to date.

Junior doctors in AP continue to discharge demanding clinical and emergency duties while receiving significantly lower stipends than neighboring Telangana. This growing disparity severely impacts the morale and retention of young medical professionals in the state.

We humbly request your good office to:
1) Expedite approval of the proposed
30% stipend enhancement from
2026.
2) Issue the necessary Government
Orders (G.O.s) swiftly.
3) Provide a clear implementation plan
& timeline.

We sincerely hope for early action and a positive resolution in the interest of state healthcare.
