Kolkata: Due to the ongoing doctors’ agitation in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, patients across the state are facing a lot of problems. Even emergency services in hospitals have come to a standstill.
On the instructions of the Health Department, senior doctors are handling the services of the emergency department and outpatient department. However, the Health Secretary has claimed that there is a hindrance in emergency services at some places. The Secretary appealed to the junior doctors to maintain the service of the patients, but patients had to face trouble in various medical colleges of the state.
Patients are not getting treatment
The condition of RG Kar Hospital is said to be very serious. A woman from Kashipur who came for treatment in the obstetrics department said that she had to return without treatment due to the closure of the outpatient department and the absence of doctors. At the same time, a cancer patient from Basirhat also returned without treatment. She said that we have been asked to come after a week.
Appeal made to end strike
RG Kar’s new principal Suhrita Pal took over her responsibility at RG Kar on Tuesday. She called a meeting of the college council in the afternoon, in which all department heads were asked to be active to restore services. Suhrita Pal said, “I also want proper justice and demand a real investigation, but it is also important to take care of patient services.” At the same time, the State Medical Council has also appealed to all registered doctors to end the strike.
