NZPO, ZMO-N support NIDA’s demand

Dimapur, Nov. 2 (EMN): Nagaland Zeliang People’s Organisation (NZPO) and Zeliangrong Mipui Organisation-Nagaland (ZMO-N) have urged the state government to consider the “genuine demand” of the Nagaland In-service Doctors’ Association (NIDA).

The two organizations, in a joint press statement, said that right to health is a basic need and it is the responsibility of the government to deliver justice to healthcare providers and ensure availability of smooth health care services in the entire state.

“In the event of the situation getting worst or cause mass suffering due to failure of addressing this grave issue on time, the government may need to face the consequences of delayed attention,” it cautioned.

It further stated that in line with other states in the country, the genuine demand of NIDA should be considered to augment the acute shortage of senior and experienced doctors in the state.
