IMA Gujarat puts Medical Teams on Alert amid rising Cross-Border Tensions
Ahmedabad: In light of the evolving situation between India and Pakistan, and following India’s retaliatory actions, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) Gujarat has called upon its members to be on standby for emergency medical deployment.
In an official circular addressed to all state committee members and local branches, the association urged doctors, medical specialists, and paramedics to be ready for any medical emergencies, particularly those involving surgical and intensive care. The IMA also emphasized the importance of coordinating with government and military hospitals to ensure swift and effective medical assistance if required.
Giving a call to All State Working Committee Members and All Local Branch Presidents and Secretaries, IMA Gujarat stated, “In the wake of recent events, we healthcare professionals need to be geared up to meet with any exigency that might arise. Hospital facilities with the Government and military may require our support in certain situations that require immediate ramping up of specialists and paramedics for all kinds of surgical and critical care management. We, on behalf of the Gujarat State Branch of the Indian Medical Association, urge you all to be ready to join in this call of duty should a situation arise requiring your intervention to strengthen the Government or military health infrastructure. In this context, if CDMO, CDHO, or superintendents of hospitals contact district chapters or hospitals, then please provide wholehearted support in all possible manner in this call of duty.”
The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) also extended full support to the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy, acknowledging their unwavering dedication, valour, and relentless commitment to safeguarding our nation’s sovereignty and security. FORDA also assured its availability in any capacity required to strengthen the country’s preparedness in medical and emergency support. “In these times of heightened global and regional sensitivities, FORDA, on behalf of thousands of resident doctors serving in hospitals across the country, salutes the courage and discipline of our brave soldiers, who serve on the frontlines to protect the integrity of our motherland,” FORDA added.
