Hyderabad: Of the existing total of 71 nurses, as many as 60 intern nurses at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) began a hunger strike on Tuesday, demanding recognition and provisions like provident fund.
According to the president of NIMS Nursing Staff Struggle Committee M. Uma Rani, they have been working at NIMS for the last nine years. However, they have been identified as the nurses on internship and not as staff nurses.
She mentioned that in view of this, they went on the indefinite hunger strike with their only demand of recognizing them as the staff nurses with all provisions. She also mentioned that till date, terms of around ten nurses had expired and remaining of them is expected to meet the same fate.
Contradicting the claim of the president that they worked at NIMS for last 9 years, a higher official from NIMS said that they have been only interning at the institute for the last three years. Further, the official said that in the past three years, around 250 joined as interns at different stages. A few of the interns, have failed in the nurses exam.
