Chennai sources stated that expressing solidarity with the Indian Medical Association (IMA), the doctors in Tamilnadu have planned to take part in one-day statewide strike on Monday. Meanwhile the medical professionals have been protesting against violence unleashed upon doctors across the country. Furthermore the doctors engage in the protests after a doctor in kolkata was brutally attacked by relatives of a deceased patient recently.
Reportedly State President of IMA Dr S Kanagasabapathy, said expressing solidarity with the IMA, the doctors will engage in strike on Monday and the doctors will not boycott emergency services. Furthermore in Tamilnadu, all 4,500 member hospitals will take part in the agitation.
Moreover it may be noted that a student doctor interning at the NRS Medical College and Hospital in kolkata was allegedly attacked by the relatives of a recently deceased patient at the hospital recently. Apparently Dr Paribaha Mukharjee was hit with a brick on his head, leaving him with a fractured skull. Perhaps the incident sparked massive outrage among the medical community, with several doctors from the state of West Bengal’s healthcare sector threatening mass resignation if proper action was not taken to ensure the security and safety of doctors.
