The resident doctors urged the prime minister
to instruct the Rajasthan government to stop atrocities against doctors in the
state.
Resident doctors at
the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi have written to Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in support of the protest by doctors in Rajasthan for
higher pay and promotions, PTI reported.
The
AIIMS Resident Doctors’ Association on Saturday urged Modi to “live their life
for a day” in order to understand the stress under which they work. The doctors
said that they had to face the ire of patients’ relatives and that even the
infrastructure at their disposal was poor.
“RDA
AIIMS requests you to put [on a] white apron and spend one day as a government
doctor to understand the tremendous amount of pressure we face, the agony of
patients who did not get treatment, the dying healthcare system due to lack of
resources and infrastructure,” the organisation’s President, Harjit Singh
Bhatti, wrote.
Bhatti
said that by doing so the prime minister could set an example for ministers who
level baseless allegations against doctors.
The
Rajasthan High Court on December 19 ordered the doctors across the state who went on strike
to resume work immediately. The doctors, associated with the All Rajasthan
In-Service Doctors Association, refused to work after the police arrested 55
doctors on the orders of the Vasundhara Raje government. Their protest came a
little over a month after a doctors’ protest crippled healthcare services in several districts of the
state.
The
AIIMS doctors alleged that their protesting colleagues’ demands were accepted
by the Rajasthan government, which later reneged on its promises. “Please
instruct the Rajasthan government to fulfil their promises and stop all
atrocities against doctors,” the doctors urged Modi.
