Junior doctors of Guwahati Medical College Hospital demand centralized act to prevent violence
Guwahati : The junior doctors of Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH), who staged a demonstration to express solidarity with the agitating medical fraternity of Maharashtra, have demanded a centralized act to prevent violence against doctors.
The junior doctors extended support to their colleagues in Maharashtra by wearing helmets during working hours in the hospital.
“The incidents of violence against doctors are increasing. Not only in Maharashtra but such incidents are also on the rise in Assam. We need a centralized act to prevent violence against doctors,” Dr Tinku Pratim, the president of junior doctors association, told ANI.
Dr Kaushik Bhuyan, the advisor to junior doctors association, echoing similar sentiments called for a centralized act to end such incidents.
“Violence on doctors is increasing day by day. If we go by data, India figures in the top 10 as far as violence against doctors is concerned. This will increase if we do not communicate with the people and the society. Awareness is very much needed. So, we need a centralized act,” he said.
