New Delhi: Union Health Minister J P Nadda said the states have been asked to ensure the safety of doctors, a statement that comes in the wake of assault of a medico by the relatives of a patient in Maharashtra.
"Instructions have been sent to the states that there should be safety of the doctors," he said in the Lok Sabha while replying to a debate on the 'The Mental Healthcare Bill'.
Nadda said he also had talked to the Chief Ministers of various states on the safety of doctors.
