Bihar: The junior doctors of Bihar have urged the authorities to revoke the COVID-19 facility status of Patna, Gaya, and Bhagalpur Medical College and hospitals due to the lack of patients and have also requested the authorities to allow admission of non-COVID patients.
Most of these junior doctors are postgraduate medical students and are pursuing their internships. However, turning the medical colleges as COVID facility will hamper their learning process as they will not get the chance of treating patients of different diseases which might cause an academic loss for them, they have stated.
Hindusthan Times reports that the members of the Junior Doctors Association, Bihar have submitted a letter to the principal secretary, health of Bihar on Monday stating that it will be impossible for the medicos to complete their proper medical training fulfilling the goals of the training in a hospital if they are employed only for COVID-19 patients.
