Doctors demand strict implementation of AIIMS 12-Hour Day, 48-hour week duty roster
Demanding implementation of the recent order of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) regarding a 12-hour/day and 48-hour/week duty roster for residents, a doctors' body has written to the Director of the institute.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that in the OM dated 21.08.2025, AIIMS announced that the resident doctors would get one weekly holiday by rotation, and their duty hours would not normally exceed 12 hours per day. Further, the institute had mentioned that the junior residents should ordinarily work for 48 hours per week and not more than 12 hours at a stretch, subject to the condition that the working hours would be flexible, keeping in view the workload and availability of doctors for clinical work.
