Doctors in Odisha extend protest strike for pay, staffing, and rural health demands, causing rural patient delays.
On January 5, 2026, government doctors in Odisha extended their daily outpatient department shutdown to two hours, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., continuing a protest that began in late November.
The Odisha Medical Services Association cited unmet demands including pay parity, staff recruitment, improved working conditions, and better rural health infrastructure.
The strike, which remains peaceful and excludes emergency care, has caused patient delays, particularly in rural areas.
The state government says an inter-departmental committee is reviewing the demands, but no resolution timeline has been set.
