Violence in GMC Agartala Hospital! Duty doctor Assaulted, Abused by Attendants, 1 Arrested
Agartala: In another incident of violence against doctors, a doctor at GMC Agartala's GB Pant Hospital in Tripura was allegedly assaulted and verbally abused by a group of youths, who were the attendants of a patient. The doctor suffered injuries to his head and photographs of the doctor's head, drenched in blood from a severe cut were circulating on social media platforms.
While the doctor suffered injuries in the attack, he is now out of danger, informed the National Chairman of the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), Dr. Rohan Krishnan.
He informed, "The incident took place at GMC Agartala, where the resident doctor on duty in the Radiology Department was attacked. The concerned doctor hails from Karnataka. 4-5 attendants of the patient, who was admitted in the Gynecology ward, attacked the doctor."
"We have demanded that the doctor should get Rs 5 lakh compensation. We also reached out to the CM's office, some of our representatives were there. The CM also went to visit the resident doctor. Although the doctor is now out of danger, we demand that if the government fails to prevent such attacks then at least the prescribed compensation should be given to the doctors," he added.
