Healthcare workers demonstrate to press their demands in Vadodara
VADODARA: Covid-19 patients had to face a tough time on Tuesday as nurses and in-service doctors in Vadodara joined the state-wide strike to protest against transfer of their state office-bearers.
At a time when Vadodara, like other regions of the state, was reeling under the impact of cyclone Tauktae, at least two dozen Covid-19 patients were shifted from referral hospitals and community health centres from rural areas like Dabhoi and Savli because of the flash strike.
From Dabhoi referral hospital and community health centre alone nearly 19 Covid-19 patients were shifted to Vadodara’s GMERS Medical College and Hospital, Gotri and isolation centres at Thuvavi and Darul Uloom as all the 11 nurses had joined the strike leaving nobody to attend the patients.
