Doctors are on strike in government hospitals in Delhi today in protest against the murder of a doctor in Kolkata, West Bengal. Doctors have gone on strike in AIIMS and RML. Senior doctors have taken over the front. More than 40 thousand patients come to the four hospitals of the central government in Delhi. On the other hand, more than 42 thousand patients come to 38 hospitals of the Delhi government for treatment. More than a thousand doctors are on strike in all these hospitals.
Services will be affected in these hospitals
Resident doctors of Safdarjung, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Lady Harding Medical College and Hospital, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, University College of Medical Sciences, Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (IBHAS), Maulana Azad Medical College and related hospitals (Loknayak and others) and other hospitals will not provide services.
Emergency services will continue
Resident Doctors Association says that only emergency services will be available. Doctors will not help in OPD, elective surgery, services in the ward, lab tests, and other work. Services across the country will remain affected until justice is provided to the doctor who lost her life in Kolkata.
At the same time, Dr. Sarvesh Pandey, General Secretary of the Federation of Resident Doctors Association said that justice should be provided soon. Doctors across the country are united against the incident. On Saturday, the RDA of RML and other hospitals took out a candle march. In this case, doctors have demanded immediate and strict action against the criminals from the authorities. Also, there is a demand to ensure a safe environment for doctors across the country.
More than 35 thousand patients coming from Delhi and nearby states get treatment every day in Safdarjung, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, Lady Harding, and other government hospitals. Patients may face a lot of trouble after the decision of non-cooperation of the Resident Doctors Association. However, the administration claims that during this time senior faculty and others will treat. Whereas doctors say that mainly resident doctors treat patients. In such a situation, patients may face a lot of trouble due to their non-cooperation.
These are the demands of the doctors
The doctors say that there has been a demand for a long time to provide a safe environment for the doctors in the hospital. There are about two thousand resident doctors in Safdarjung Hospital. All of them will support the non-cooperation. It has often been seen that doctors are beaten up during duty, but no arrangements are being made to provide them with a safe environment at the workplace.
