Delhi: AIIMS resident doctors continue strike for 3rd day

Healthcare services at AIIMS in Delhi remained affected for the third consecutive day today as resident doctors remained adamant, continuing their strike, that the administration suspend a senior doctor who allegedly slapped one their colleague in front of patients and other staffers. Routine surgeries remained canceled, out-patient clinics functioned in a restricted-manner; patients seeking OPD consultation were sent back. Only emergency, ICU services functioned.

Apology
The senior doctor has tendered a written apology

The AIIMS's senior doctor, who heads a department at the premier institute, has tendered a written apology for assaulting the resident doctor and proceeded on leave on the directions of an internal probe panel. The resident doctors, who've been on the protest strike since Thursday evening, paid no heed to AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria's appeal to call off their strike and return to work.

The Strike
Will continue strike till senior doctor is suspended: Resident doctor

"The senior doctor has been sent on leave. We want the administration to suspend him. Till he is suspended we will continue our strike," a doctor participating in the strike said. The hospital administration has put in place a contingency plan for patient-care services, as a part of which faculty-on-call in all clinical departments have to man the in-patient wards physically.

Details
What does the order issued by hospital administration say?

"OPD services will function on restricted-basis till such a time that normalcy is restored. Only follow-up patients with prior appointment will be registered in OPD," an order issued by the administration stated. "New Patients OPD registration will be done as per availability of faculty in respective OPD as decided by Head of Department/Unit concerned. No walk-in registration (new/old) will be done," it added.

Senior Resident
Senior resident doctor who was slapped is in depression

In a letter to Guleria, the Resident Doctors Association (RDA) alleged that the senior doctor slapped a senior resident in front of attendees, nursing staff, and colleagues and that the resident doctor was in depression. The RDA said an atmosphere of fear existed in the department headed by the senior doctor, and that nobody protested as the chief threatened to fail the junior doctors.

Letter to Nadda
Revoke senior doctor's Padmashree, Dr. BC Roy awards: RDA

The RDA has written to Union Health Minister JP Nadda, who is also the President of AIIMS, seeking revocation of Padmashree and Dr. BC Roy awards to the senior doctor. "We reprimand all his actions and request you to consider revoking his BC Roy and Padmashree awards; we believe that he is not worthy of holding such prestigious awards," they said in their letter.
