Thiruvananthapuram: Nurses in Kerala's government-run hospitals would now be able to
wear the traditional churidhars while on duty, Health Minister V.S.
Sivakumar announced Saturday.
"Nurses of government hospitals have been demanding that they be
permitted to wear churidhars while on duty. From now on they can
wear the outfit," said Sivakumar at a conference in Palakkad,
around 350 km from here.
Kerala has about 1,255 hospitals of varying size under the
directorate of health services with more than 8,000 nurses working
in them. The number of male nurses in Kerala hospitals is
minuscule.
"We are happy with the decision because wearing a sari while
working is cumbersome. This is certainly a welcome move," said a
nurse after the minister announced the government decision.
All the private hospitals in the state had long ago allowed nurses
to wear churidhars.
