7 Kerala GMC medicos demand hijab alternative inside OTs
Overview
Expressing concern about not being allowed to wear hijab inside operation theatres, a group of seven MBBS students at the Thiruvananthapuram Government Medical College have requested permission to don long-sleeve scrub jackets and surgical hoods at the earliest.
A woman medico, belonging to the 2020 batch, wrote a letter to principal Dr Linnette J Morris on June 26, citing the matter. The request letter was also signed by six other female medical students from different batches of the college.
In the letter, the students complained that they were not allowed to cover their heads inside the operation theatre. “According to our religious belief, wearing hijab is mandatory for Muslim women under all circumstances,” they said.
