Indian nurses still an exploited lot: Study - Indian Express
There can't be any two opinions on the fact that nurses in India are most suffering a lot. Their union(s) have been agitating on various issues they are confronted with but nothing like any remedial measures are there as yet at the level of the Government. They have to spend a lot on their training before they join the service, and what they get as their salary is too meagre an amount to meet their sustentation needs. The conditions, as per necessary study conducted for the purpose, are worse in New Delhi. Why New Delhi alone, the conditions are much worse in different towns of the country particularly for those who are working in private hospitals/ nursing homes. They are exploited on all counts. As per study, even their co-workers, mainly males, ill treat them. It is actually the responsibility of the government(s) both at the level of the Centre as well as the States concerned. This is a burning problem. An immediate remedial a measure, sooner the better, is the need of the day.

SIR, YOU HAVE TOUCHED A VERY GENUINE ISSUE. NURSES ARE DEFINITELY AN EXPLOITED LOT ON ALL COUNTS. MOST OF THE PRIVATE HOSPITALS/NURSING HOMES EMPLOY THEM IN LOW WAGES AND PUT ALMOST ALL THE MENIAL JOBS ONTO THEIR SHOULDERS. IF I AM NOT WRONG, AT THE INSTANCE OF KERALA HIGH COURT, A COMMITTEE WAS APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO STUDY THE ISSUES OF NURSES. THE COMMITTEE IN MAY 2012, CAME UP WITH A LOT OF REFORM RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING FAIR WAGE STANDARDS AND AN EIGHT HOURS SHIFT ETC., BUT SADLY THESE ARE YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED BT THE GOVERNMENT.
Right cause.
Pitiable conditions demand necessary action without delay
A VERY GENUINE ISSUE.
I too joine Mr. V.K. Malhotra and the recommendations of committee appointed by Kerala High Court should be implemented at an earliest.
