Duty Doctor at Jaipur Hospital attacked by patient's attendant, sparks outrage

The association has called for the ongoing presence of police constables in the emergency departments and trauma centres of all government hospitals in Jaipur. This initiative aims to allow medical staff to carry out their duties with greater confidence and an increased sense of security.

JARD in their letter stated, "As a collective decision of all resident doctors working at government-run hospitals in the state capital, we have resolved that we will only be able to continue working in emergency services if police constables are present to ensure a safe working environment."

Dr Manohar Siyol, president of the Jaipur Association of Resident Doctors (JARD) told TOI, “The doctor has suffered injuries. We have informed the principal of the medical college about the incident and the lapses in security, because of which the doctor faced the attack. Deployment of police personnel in the emergency department and trauma centre would have prevented such an incident from happening."
