48-hour work week on cards for resident doctors? Policymakers claim matter under consideration

The long-pending demand of young doctors, which has never been able to see the light of day till now, of having a 48-hour work week might become a reality soon. In fact, the doctors may also get one day off in the week along with this.

While this may seem like a distant dream to many young medicos, an official from the National Medical Commission (NMC) recently informed a leading Daily that the Commission is planning to bring regulations that will ensure that medical students get weekly off, they are provided reasonable time to rest and their working hours do not exceed more than 48 hours in a week. The matter is currently being considered by the Commission.
