Maha resident docs suffer burnout, work longest hours in India: Survey

July 1, 2026
The survey, conducted among 1,260 resident doctors across 24 states and Union Territories, included responses from 109 doctors in Maharashtra, 95% of whom were from govt medical colleges. While the state fares slightly better than the national average in areas such as counselling, grievance redressal and stipend satisfaction, the workload remains among the highest in the country. The findings come ahead of Doctors’ Day on July 1.
