"The strike was called off after holding today's Maha Rally of doctors and para-medical staff members,” declared IMA-Rajasthan President Dr Sunil Chug.
Amid the protests by the resident doctors, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention to stop the delay in NEET-PG 2021 counselling as there was an acute shortage of manpower.
The IMA, while warning of a third wave on Monday, had appealed to the union and state governments to ensure people in the country do not let their guard down in the fight against this global pandemic. Leading hospitals in Hyderabad are gearing up to meet any challenge in the weeks and months ahead.
The IMA said, "It is not prudent for an intern trained in modern medicine to partake and practice a system of medicine which he has not learned in under graduation with know-how and show-how paradigms."
The party said the Central Government cannot abstain from its responsibility by blaming the people for not following the protocols, or, shifting the blame on to State governments.
Last year, the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) amended the Indian Medicine Central Council (Post Graduate Ayurveda Education) Regulations, 2016, to allow PG students of ayurveda to perform a variety of general surgery, including orthopaedic, ophthalmology, ENT and dental through notifying an amendment in a gazette notification issued in November.
