IMA doctors’ strike: Lukewarm response by Pune docs
The IMA’s call for strike to protest
the National Council
of Human Resource and Health Bill 2011 and the Clinical Establishment Act met
with a lukewarm response in Pune with most hospitals in the city running as usual.
The new laws will see all medical
bodies under the NCHRH umbrella and will be headed up by bureaucrats rather
than doctors. It was regular business at most hospitals and other than the fact
that doctors were wearing black bands there was no evidence of a strike.
At Ruby Hall Clinic (RHC), medical
superintendent Dr Sujata Mallik said a few consultants stayed away from work,
but their patients were attended to by other doctors. “As far as possible, no
patient was turned away,” she said.
A patient we talked to said that
though there were some doctors missing most services were available. Medical
superintendent Dr Manisha Bobade at Jehangir Hospital said no services were
affected. However, a few patients complained that the consultants they wanted
to see weren’t available due to the strike.
