The Indian Medical Association (IMA) had the history of supporting nurses and they had earlier demanded private hospital managements and the State government to revise the pay and service conditions of nurses. Nevertheless, when it comes to striking nurses of Cherthala KVM hospital they are deadly against nurses. The reason is obvious. The manager of the hospital is a doctor who is a member of IMA. As the member doctor is the prime accused in nurses strike IMA has no option other than to support the doctor. Instead of asking the
management to ensure the pay of the nursing staff and their working hours as per government stipulation they took an obnoxious stand.
The IMA that stood always for the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act in hospitals coming against Cherthala KVM nurses, is unfortunate.
