| Doctors to wear black bands on May 27 | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 25: Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) has called all the doctors of the state to wear black bands on Wednesday 27th May 2015, as a mark of protest against continued violence against medical professionals. Doctors are taken as a soft target and are being repeatedly assaulted across the state for no fault.
There is a fear psychosis in entire medical fraternity, which hampers medical professionals to discharge their duties professionally. Hospital property worth lakhs is being damaged by the miscreants and it is not possible to replace that property in view of the high cost. DAK has appealed the government innumerable times for the promulgation of an ordinance on violence against medical professionals but their repeated pleas are going to deaf ears. Many representations have been submitted without any result. Government possibly is waiting for a big mishap to take place. All the doctors are scared as many miscreants who resort to violence escape the wrath of law and this indirectly encourages them for further violence.
These actions by the miscreants will lead to efflux of doctors from the state which will further disturb the already disturbed doctor-patient ratio. There is decorum in terms of number of attends which are to be allowed along with the patients, but in our hospitals scores of people enter hospitals as attendants who ultimately damage hospital property. DAK cannot take poor patients as a hostage and thereby go for any kind of strike and that is why it has has decided to go for a dignified protest, by wearing black bands , so as to give a message to authorities, said GM Mir Chairman DAK.
DAK has made it clear to all the stake holders that if any kind of negligence is proved against any doctor; strict action should be taken against him within the ambit of law. The ordinance which DAK has been appealing is already in place in many states across India it has been seen that the violence in hospitals has come down dramatically after its implementation. As per the ordinance, any person found assaulting the medical staff and damaging the hospital is to be arrested without any bail and the said person has to pay three times the cost of the damaged property. DAK also condemns the suspension of Dr Sushil Pandita Registrar Medicine GMC Jammu by PMC Jammu for alleged negligence. Such actions are against the supreme court direction, where in it is to be proved by a committee of experts before initiating any kind of action. |
