Revoke the Order On Max Hospital, or We Go on Strike: Doctors Association tells Kejriwal

New Delhi: Terming the state government’s decision to cancel the license of Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh “irrational and autocratic”, the Delhi Medical Association has asked the chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to revoke the order or face a strike.
In the letter marked to Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain, the DMA said the government should have waited for the report by Delhi Medical Council (DMC) into the issue before taking the stand against the hospital.
The DMA which opposed the order said it would give a call for strike, if needed.
"If our demands are not met, we will finalise on Wednesday whether to call for a strike," DMA President Vijay Malhotra said.
Meanwhile, some regular patients of the hospital, besides those who were turned away by the health facility since its licence has been cancelled, today demonstrated outside the hospital. Sweepers and wardboys too raised slogans against the Delhi government for cancelling the hospital's licence, a senior police official said, adding that it was peaceful and no one was detained.
