The document discusses the strike by nurses in India to protest poor working conditions and low pay. It notes that over 12 lakh Malayali nurses work in India, dedicated to their jobs. The document highlights the heroism of Remya and Vineetha, two Malayali nurses who sacrificed their lives saving patients during a fire. However, nurses are often treated like machines and earn less than auto drivers despite long hours and stressful conditions. Many nurses have gone on strike in several Kerala hospitals to demand better wages and adherence to labour laws.

There are many labour laws are present in our
country but almost all are negleted by these
hospitals.
According to the minimum wages act 2009 a
nurse has the right to get Rs.8000 per month.
But most of the hospitals can gave only 1500-
4000 for a nurse who work 12-15 hours a day.

12. • Also they are forced to be in duty for 28 to 30
days
• Also Some hospitals are not provide even the
maternity leave.

13. • “As seen in other parts of the country, the
doctors who benefitted the most from the
private and corporate healthcare boom,
choose to be either silent or side with the
management.
• Thanks to the free-for-all market some of them
earn a few lakh a month, but when it comes to
nursing care which is extremely critical in
patient management, they look the other way.
• Not a single organisation of doctors, except a
small outfit, has come out in support of the
nurses.”

14. In case of government sector
• Nurses with the same experience and
qualifications get Rs. 20,000 and other perks. The
difference in salaries progressively increases with
their years of experience.

15. • According to the striking nurses, most of whom
come from poor families
• The salaries do not suffice to even pay back their
loans. Most of them have taken education loans
of at least Rs 3 lakh and are now falling into
mounting debt traps.
• They say it is a do-or-die battle for them since
they just cannot survive in such exploitative
conditions.
