Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences : 40% surgeries postponed; doctors’ leaves cancelled
Hindustan TimesLUCKNOW: Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences had to postpone 15 operations scheduled for the day while 25 were conducted on Tuesday as around 350 resident doctors withdrew from all OPD and surgical duties on Tuesday. “Resident doctors are not attending to any elective surgeries, OPD patients, OT duties, or anything else—only emergency services and wards are running,” said Dr. Praveen, a resident doctor at Lohia Hospital. Meanwhile, the UP resident doctors’ association, which includes a majority of the protesting doctors at Lohia, has written to UP health and family welfare minister Jai Pratap Singh, as well as union health minister J.P. Nadda, demanding safety measures for doctors at hospitals and medical institutions. The association’s president at RML, Dr. Praveen, said that a joint event might be organised in the coming days by RMLIMS, King George Medical University, and Sanjay Gandhi Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences.
