Patient care was affected at several major hospitals in Delhi on December 29 as resident doctors protesting over the delay in NEET PG counselling intensified their agitation even as members of more resident doctors associations (RDAs) joined the stir in the national capital.
Resident doctors association of the Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital (RGSSH) on December 19 morning issued a statement that its members were “withdrawing services” to protest the alleged police action during a face-off between them and medics on Monday, and demanded expediting of the NEET PG counselling process.
Located in east Delhi, RGSSH, which comes under the Delhi Government, is one of the key facilities for treatment of COVID-19 in the city. “Senior residents and junior residents have boycotted services from today. But we are trying to compensate with consultants so that patient care is not much affected,” a senior official of the hospital said, adding, about 900-2,000 patients visit its OPD daily.
