Vitin John, General Secretary, Jipmer Staff Nurses Development Welfare Association, said Jipmer has 2,300 beds with the support of only 1,300 nurses. While there are 2,300 beds in AIIMS, they have nursing staff strength of 4,500, PGIMER has a nursing staff strength of 2,700 for 1,800 beds. The Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (Jipmer) Staff Nurses Development Welfare Association is planning to hold a one-hour protest demonstration on July 18 in front of the administration block of Jipmer hospital, demanding that the the issue of staff shortage be addressed. He further, “Due to this shortage in staff, our nurses have to work very hard to provide all patients equal care and support. This condition of nursing staff will adversely affect patient care as well.”
