KGMOA slams 12-hour specialty roll-out at Punalur Taluk Hospital without adequate preparations
The Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) criticized the 12‑hour specialty shift at Punalur Taluk Hospital, arguing that the facility lacks enough specialists to run continuous services. The association said the current number of doctors is insufficient for uninterrupted specialty care, raising concerns about patient safety and quality of care during extended hours for both patients and staff.
