Hyderabad: The Junior Doctors Association of Osmania Medical College threatened to boycott outpatient duties if their demands regarding the restoration of non-functional medical equipment and urgent hospital infrastructure improvements are not resolved by the government. Association representatives stated that despite submitting several formal representations to authorities, their long-pending operational concerns remain unaddressed.

Medical residents warned that unless the administration addresses their grievances immediately, they will initiate strike action by boycotting outpatient services and elective surgeries. However, representatives confirmed that emergency services and essential patient care will continue without interruption.

Osmania Medical College Junior Doctors Association president N Chandrakanth Reddy stated that key diagnostic machines and essential clinical facilities at the hospital have remained inadequate or non-functional for several months. He highlighted severe deficiencies in vital medical facilities including ventilators, the catheterisation laboratory, X-ray machines, and endoscopy equipment across key hospital departments.
