The Kerala Government Medical College Teachers’ Association (KGMCTA) began a strike on Thursday (November 13, 2025), raising various demands, affecting the functioning of medical colleges across the State.

Other than emergency, casualty and labour room services, other departments and classes for medical students were disrupted as part of the protest.

KGMCTA said that except for critical surgeries, all other scheduled surgeries have been postponed.
