The protesting doctors in Kolkata have called for a march to Swasthya Bhavan today. Keeping in mind the ongoing protests across the country, especially the concerns of doctors and their safety, the Supreme Court may order a judicial inquiry. Experts say that after a concrete solution is found from the Supreme Court, the doctors may also withdraw their strike.
Doctors’ associations Federation of Associations of Medical Consultants of India (FAMCI) and Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) and advocate Vishal Tiwari have also approached the apex court by filing interim applications in the suo motu case. FAMCI in its petition raised safety concerns for medical personnel in hospitals across the country in the absence of a central law and said that despite demands for basic safety measures for years, medical staff are working in a risky environment. The doctors’ association said, the Center should be asked to formulate uniform guidelines to ensure the safety of health workers and remove the shortcomings in state-level laws.
