EARLY TIMES REPORT
ANANTNAG, Jan 11:

People mostly attendants of patients on Monday held protests inside Government Medical College Anantnag against doctors who they alleged were refusing to treat patients.
The doctors, working GMC Anantnag, had gone on pen-down strike to protest against the ‘unnecessary interference’ of district administration into the daily functioning of the health department.
Reports said that a group of attendants assembled outside the Emergency ward and started raising slogans against the doctors and health department.
“We have come from far-flung areas of Anantnag to avail treatment here but doctors are refusing to treat patients,” they said.
They alleged that even those patients who required immediate help and medical treatment weren’t even touched by the doctors.
“My wife is on dialysis but no one cares here,” alleged an attendant.
Doctors at Government Medical College Anantnag said that they had gone on strike for two hours starting from 10:00 am.
In a press statement, Jammu and Kashmir Doctors Coordination Committee(JKDCC) which is an amalgam of various doctors associations, said that the administration has badly failed during this winter's snow fall and got itself buried as the snow was not cleared from the roads, lanes and by-lanes for days together and this administrative apathy caused a lot of difficulty for doctors, paramedics and patients to reach hospitals and consequently a disaster like situation was palpable."
Dr Owais H Dar General Secretary Doctors Association Kashmir(DAK said, that Sub District Magistrate (SDM) Pattan Baramulla through electronic media advised people to avoid travel on Srinagar- Baramulla highway, due to slippery conditions of road and consequent traffic mess, but at the same time visited the Trauma Hospital Pattan to check the attendance of medical staff.The staff could not be there on time as they had to travel through the same route which was unfortunately inaccessible.
"Time and again single line administration is using the department of health to stay in the limelight. Further, if undue interference by revenue officials is not stopped immediately, we will be forced to shut down hospitals across the region for which they will be fully responsible for the consequences thereof" warned JKDCC.
Important to mention, Deputy Commissioner Anantnag K K Sidha on Sunday found fourteen (14) doctors absent from the duties at Maternity and Child Care Hospital Anantnag during a surprise check.
The Deputy Commissioner said that he had recommended strong action against the absentee doctors.
