What Are The Causes Of Health Worker Strikes?
I will share my views on the basis of my experience in this context.@sir-clinic rocks!
Misbehavior of attendants of patients is on rise in india and is leading cause of strikes nowadays. It has become a commom practice in india to beat doctors especially in emergency settings by attendants for mismanagement which is not always the case.Problem with attendents here is that they want their patients Hale and hearty even if they are brought dead to hospital. Doctors strike fork security.
Health workers strike for against salary. As for workload in our hospitals is concerned health workers are paid just peanuts compared to our minsters, MLAs, MPs etc. In this era we hardly have both ends meet.
Strikes against poor infrastructure and lack of manpower leading to increased workload and lesser opportunities for skill development in health care workers.
