RGUHS proposes self-defence training program for doctors
Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) in Bangalore has recently proposed self-defence classes for doctors in emergency wards and outpatient departments in its affiliated colleges, where the doctors will deal directly with a large number of patients and their attendants. The move comes after several incidents of violence against doctors took place in hospitals.
The move has been welcomed by the Association of Resident Doctors. However, at the same time, the doctors also said that adequate security arrangements at the hospital gates and limiting the number of patient attendants in the hospital are also the need of the hour.
