Registration of PG Doctors Cancelled: Around 3000 doctors in MP go on Indefinite Strike
Bhopal: Protesting against the disciplinary action of the Madhya Pradesh Government against few junior doctors of the state, around 3000 resident doctors have started an indefinite strike against the Government.
The doctors have clearly mentioned that the strike will continue until the Government withdraws the notice where it has taken disciplinary action against the PG doctors and has canceled the registration of MP doctors.
"Taking disciplinary action against the legitimate demands raised by the junior doctors and going against the order of the High Court, the administration has once again released an order canceling the registration of doctors. Junior doctors of the entire state will start an agitation against it from tomorrow, and it will only end only when this notice is withdrawn," Junior Doctors Association mentioned in a recent statement.
Even though the JDA members had met the Medical Education Ministry officials several times the issue didn't resolve and the registration of several office bearers of JDA got canceled. Following this, several doctors from several medical colleges in MP wrote to the College authorities requesting them withdraw the order. The doctors had also clarified that if the order doesn't get withdrawn till the morning of September 8, the doctors would be forced to go into strike and stop all services.
As the Government didn't change its stand, around 3000 Junior Doctors of Madhya Pradesh have once again taken the path of an indefinite strike until the notice is revoked. All the services including OPD and emergency have been stopped.
While commenting on the matter, Dr. Hareesh Pathak told Medical Dialogues, "The junior doctors who worked hard in Covid and were praised by people are getting their registration canceled in MP. Is it how the MP govt preparing for 3rd wave?"
"So we are on indefinite strike till the notice is revoked," he clarified.
Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has also extended its support towards the doctors. Condemning the move of MP Government, Dr Rohan Krishnan, National VP of FAIMA said, "Harassing the PG students who are the frontline workers of this Pandemic is a serious issue. Any kind of irrational move by the MP government will lead to disastrous effects as we will support our junior colleagues and start a strike in Delhi & Pan India. Hence we urge the government not to follow any draconian policies."
