Haryana Private hospital doctors observe day-long strike
Hisar: Doctors of private hospitals in Haryana observed a day-long strike to protest the state governments decision to introduce a new legislation they fear would "wipe out" small and medium medical establishments.
The strike hit healthcare services in many parts of the state. Doctors across the state this morning voiced their opposition to the governments decision to introduce the Central Clinical Establishment (Registration and Regulation) Act.
The Haryana chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) had called the token strike.
IMA state president A P Setia said the association was forced to oppose the state governments decision "as the Act once implemented would wipe out small and medium medical establishments".
"The Central Act 2010 is not appropriate as per the socio-economic realities of the population of Haryana. Its implementation shall be the last nail in the coffin of an already acute shortage of qualified doctors. Most of the small and medium-sized nursing homes shall be forced by the Haryana government to down their shutters," Setia claimed.
