MGM Indore Obgyn Department Faces Complaints Over Alleged Toxic Culture, Duty Violations

Alleging violations of duty-hour regulations and a toxic work culture at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of MGM Indore, a complaint has been filed before the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Medical College, Indore, recently implemented the 1992 Residency Scheme under which resident doctors will now work no more than 12 hours per day and 48 hours per week. This was expected to bring relief to the resident doctors, who are often left exhausted, one step away from burnout due to rigorous duty hours assigned to them during their residency.
