The Maharashtra State Branch of Indian Radiological and Imaging Association (MSBIRIA) has decided to support the striking doctors in West Bengal. To show their solidarity with them, members of the association have decided to shut all radio-diagnostic modalities like sonography, X-ray, CT scan, MRI etc for 24 hours across the state from 6 am today. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has already decided to withdraw non-essential services including OPDs on Monday seeking a law against violence in hospitals.
The strike in West Bengal comes after a recent incident in Kolkata, when Dr Pratibha Mukherjee, a junior resident doctor, was brutally attacked by the family of a patient who died at NRS Medical College. Condemning the act, the two national medical bodies have joined hands demanding the law. They have also demanded seven years imprisonment as punishment in cases of violence at hospitals.
