Patna, Aug 01: Resident Doctors at Patna’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences launched an indefinite strike on Friday, protesting alleged misbehaviour, intimidation, and assault by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA from Sheohar, Chetan Anand, his wife Dr. Ayushi Singh, and their security personnel.
Around 500 resident doctors and students pursuing their masters or super-specialty degrees have shut down the OPD and emergency services, including elective surgeries.
The Resident Doctors Association of AIIMS Patna has demanded safety of doctors at the workplace, removal of doctors’ names mentioned in the FIR registered by the MLA, a formal written assurance and public condemnation of the incident by the AIIMS administration, and the implementation of concrete and lasting security protocols to safeguard healthcare professionals on duty.
