HYDERABAD: The medical fraternity in the town condemned the assault on Dr Michael Aranha and, as a mark of protest, all paediatric clinics and departments (in major hospitals) remained close on Monday. The 24-hour-long ‘bandh’, medical doctors stated, used to be to highlight the spurt in attacks on medical doctors and demand government take measures to stop them. Doctors felt an increase in ‘hooliganism’ used to be an indication of failing legislation and order.
Indian Medical Association (IMA) individuals took out a rally from Uday Omni Hospital, the place Dr Michael is convalescing to the DGP place of business, to protest the assault. “We demand police act on the accused as consistent with the Telangana Medical Service Persons and Medical Service Institutions (Prevention of violence and harm of property) Act, 2008, which is a non-bailable offence, three-year prison term and recovery of damages or treatment fees of the assaulted staff or medical doctors. The Act should be given huge exposure by way of police and the state government. There should be swift action by way of police in case of emergency and non-interference of politicians in the identify of religion or otherwise. A conducive setting should be restored,” IMA Telangana secretary Dr Sanjeev Singh Yadav stated.
Meanwhile, medical doctors and paramedics staged protests and demonstrations across the state by way of wearing black badges. The assault has angered the medical fraternity, which has been at the receiving finish of public anger of past due. The previous assault used to be barely a week in the past at Gleneagles Global Hospital, the place a patient’s kin vandalised health facility property.
