Amid the Haryana Civil Medical Services Association’s (HCMSA) call for a complete shutdown of health services on December 8 and 9 over major service-related issues, directly recruited postgraduate specialist doctors have now raised fresh concerns and distanced themselves from the protest. The HCMSA is demanding the stoppage of direct recruitment of Senior Medical Officers (SMOs) and notification of the modified Assured Career Progression (ACP) structure, but specialists say these demands conflict with their own long-pending issues.
