It has been over three months since we resumed work with hope, but our demands have not been addressed: APMCA State president

- K Kalyan Krishna Kumar @ Vijayawada

More than 10,000 Community Health Officers (CHOs) working in Village Health Clinics across Andhra Pradesh are growing anxious as promises made by the State government remain unfulfilled three months after their strike ended.

Earlier this year, the CHOs, represented by the Andhra Pradesh Mid-Level Community Health Officers Association (APMCA), staged a 40-day strike over financial and service-related demands. The protest ended when Health, Medical and Family Welfare Minister Y Satya Kumar Yadav assured them, in writing through the Commissioner, that their concerns would be resolved within a month.
