The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), a body representing Resident Doctors' Associations (RDAs) across India, on Sunday called for a nationwide shutdown of elective services in hospitals from Monday in solidarity with medics' ongoing protest in West Bengal, an official of the body said.
The decision was taken after a meeting of FAIMA on Saturday, reported news agency PTI. The body, however, requested all RDAs to ensure that emergency services remain functional 24/7, the official said.
