IGMH to Cease Flexible Duty Arrangements for Pregnant Employees and New Mothers

The state-run Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) has notified its staff that it will discontinue the “flexible duty” arrangements previously offered to pregnant employees and new mothers.

In a memo issued to all departments yesterday, the hospital management stated that the increasing number of staff on flexible working hours is impacting its ability to maintain round-the-clock services.
