As seen in other parts of the country, thedoctors who benefitted the most from theprivate and corporate healthcare boom,choose to be either silent or side with themanagement. Thanks to the free-for-all market some of themearn a few lakh a month, but when it comes tonursing care which is extremely critical inpatient management, they look the other way. Not a single organisation of doctors, except asmall outfit, has come out in support of thenurses. 14. In case of government sector Nurses with the same experience and qualifications get Rs. 20,000 and other perks. The difference in salaries progressively increases with their years of experience. 15.
