Mangaluru: Strike has little effect in hospitals
No OPD bandh
Mangaluru: Private Doctors have called for a nationwide strike to protest against the Central Government’s National Medical Commission Bill. Even though, the prominent hospitals in Mangaluru, including Father Muller, AJ, KMC, have thrown open their OPDs and doctors are treating patients.
Though the Indian Medical Association has called for an OPD bandh, on-duty Doctors are attending patients at OPDs here. “We are not sending patients back,” authorities of Father Muller and AJ Hospitals said.
The Central Government intends to pass the bill on the recommendation of the National Medical Commission. We have called for a one-day symbolic strike. Except for emergency services, no OPDs will be opened,” the president of the private doctors association said at a press conference in Bengaluru.
