Strike continues at MY hospital Strike continues at MY hospital

The medical services in the MY Hospital, the State's largest Government hospital remained crippled for the second consecutive day with hundreds of junior doctors of the hospital remaining on strike for the second consecutive day.Even as the administration of MY hospital claimed normalcy in the hospital with senior doctors taking complete charge of the medical services, a large number of patients undergoing treatment at the hospital had to suffer from utter mismanagement and delay in operation as well as in their treatment. Meanwhile, the MY hospital administration has declared the ongoing stir of junior doctors as illegal stating that in emergency services, mass leave of doctors is illegal. 

About 250 junior doctors of MY hospital went on mass leave from Wednesday after two junior doctors Dr lallan Prasad and Dr Isha Tiwari were roughed up and manhandled by irate kin of a patient Yusuf Khan who died in the ICU of MY hospital located on the fifth floor on Tuesday. According to report, about 15-20 armed persons after death of a patient Yunus Khan barged into the ICU of MY hospital and manhandled junior doctors Dr lallan Prasad and Dr Isha Tiwari in the  presence of security personnel. 

Apparently enraged over the incident and perturbed over absence of security for them, as many as 250 junior doctors of the hospital went on mass leave from Wednesday, seeking adequate security for them. They also demanded annulment of current security contract of the hospital, which according to them are insufficient to maintain law and order position in the hospital. 

The Junior Doctors Association of the hospital has also written separate letter to the Chief Minister and the state medical education minister apprising them utter lack of security, basic amenities and absence of life-saving drugs in the hospital among others.
