The minister said a shortage of professors was affecting medical education in the state. He pointed out that the Guntur Medical College lost 25 seats because of faculty shortage.
In the state capital, only five cardiologists were available as against the sanctioned strength of 77.
"If this trend continues, we may have to shut down the government medical colleges," said Rosaiah.
This is the second time in less than a year that junior doctors are on strike. In June last year, it was at the intervention of the high court that they had called off a seven-day strike. They had also struck work for 42 days in 2003.
