BHOPAL: The allopathic doctors across the state, on the call for strike by Indian Medical Association (IMA), will not give their services for three hours on Wednesday. During this period, services at private nursing homes and emergency at clinics would be available. These doctors will take out rallies across the state and hand over memorandums. Government doctors will also sport black ribbon as a token of support to them.
The allopathic doctors are opposing the various policies of the central government including setting up of national medical commission.
IMA, state head, Dr PS Chandel said their main demands include abolishing of national medical commission, giving professional autonomy to doctors, re-constitution of medical council of India (MCI), finalise the limit of compensation under Consumer Protection Act, abolishing the provision of punishment in case of deficiency of documents under PNDT Act, formulation of rules for the safety of doctors and stopping non-allopathic doctors practicing allopathy.
