What are the legal options for the doctors?
Call off strike, then immediately issue another new strike notice with refined demands close CBA??? Will seem childish and little public sympathy left will be lost!!
Just call off the strike as the government is too broke and doesn't care - only banking on public hostility to collapsed health system.
Given doctors can subsist without salaries for even years, they can hold to their guns till total collapse of health system for it to be radically rebuilt. Then we can come up with a comprehensive approach like we did with judiciary - fund it, equip the hospitals/dispensaries, ensure supplies look at doctors/COs/Nurses welfare. Then we can use CCTVs, GPS to track the medical officers maybe.
The strike has dispelled the popular myth that 'doctors do no work in public hospitals'- that they spend more time in their private clinics. The current paralysis dispels the myth.
In the short term simple ailments will hit the rural and urban poor seriously, HIV/AIDS likely to take serious toll given disruption of testing and ARVs administration. ....
The long term costs of the strike will be with us for next two or more decades. New strains of TB superbugs due to discontinued medication....
