Answer 1

Explanation:

NEW DELHI — Radha Kumari is a nurse in India’s eastern state of Bihar. Two months ago, along with 400 of her colleagues from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in the state capital of Patna, she went on a strike demanding a salary hike and facilities that match permanent employees’ perks — which have become a necessity during the pandemic, she said.

Speaking to Devex using a pseudonym, as she feared retribution from her employers, Kumari said that contractual workers like her have long been dispensable in the Indian public health system.

“We don’t have permanent contracts or job security. I have been working in the hospital for the last two years, and with COVID-19 we’re all putting our life at risk. Why should we do this if the government does not respect us?” she said in a phone interview.

Nurses are not the only group of health care workers who are demanding better pay and facilities in India — over the past two months, doctors, and community health workers have also held strikes across the country.

“The challenge is, where do you get the human resources to run the new infrastructure that you have? You can’t create human resources overnight.”

— Anant Bhan, global health and bioethics researcher

Added to this, India also faces a shortage of health care workers, which is severely affecting the country’s COVID-19 response. To plug the gap, various local and state governments have launched recruitment drives, but with little success. After the strike in Bihar, the state sought to recruit more nurses — but despite having advertised for 9,000 posts, it was only able to fill around 5,000. In Pune, in the western state of Maharashtra, which has emerged as the city with the highest number of cases in the last week, staff shortages have plagued new COVID-19 centers that have been set up to deal with the influx of patients.

Best of luck for your exam my mate♥️♥️
