New Delhi: With growing instances of harassment against junior doctors being reported from across the country, the apex medical regulator, Medical Council of India, has been appealed to look into the matter and provide the younger generation of doctors with help and justice.
The council acting on the issue has in turn forwarded the complaints to the Academic Committee of the Council asking it to respond within three months.
It is reported that a representation was received by the Medical Council of India by a group of junior residents pointing out to the discrimination (Shoshan), humiliation ( Apmaan), assault ( Maarpeet) as well as housework that the junior doctors were subjected to along with the inhuman and animal-like behaviour against junior doctors in most of the medical colleges in the country. The representation asked for the MCI to intervene and provide them with help, security, dignity as well as justice in the said matter.
