Amidst the widespread outrage within the medical fraternity in the country prompting doctors and medical students to strike in protest against the unfortunate event in Kolkata where an on-duty PG medico was reportedly brutally raped and murdered, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a statement and an advisory.
In its advisory issued under the authority of Dr B Srinivas, NMC Secretary, the apex medical commission noted that incidents of violence against doctors in medical colleges have been reported in the recent past. Hence, the NMC has directed medical colleges to ensure the safety of doctors by developing a policy towards a safe work environment on the campus for all staff members including doctors and medical students.
