Health services can be stalled in Bihar from today! Junior doctors went on strike over their demands:

News India Live, Digital Desk: In Bihar, a big crisis on health services has started in Bihar since today i.e. on Tuesday. Junior doctors of all government medical colleges in the state have gone on indefinite strike over their several -point demands. The direct impact of this strike is to fall on the OPD and general health services of Patna’s PMCH, NMCH to DMCH of Darbhanga and all other medical colleges in the state.

If you are also planning to go to a government hospital for treatment today, then this news is very important for you.

Why are these doctors called ‘backbone of hospital’ on strike?

There are long pending demands of doctors behind this strike under the banner of Junior Doctors Association (JDA), which have great resentment due to the government not paying attention. JDA says that they have been pleading with the government continuously for the last 6 months, but their demands are being ignored, after which they were forced to take this step.

What are the main demands of junior doctors?

1. Security guarantee: They are demanding their security for the incidents of day -to -day assault and misconduct with doctors in hospitals. They want a safe environment to be created in hospitals.
2. Better Hostel Facilities: The condition of hostels for doctors to stay in many medical colleges is very bad. They are demanding clean and better residential facilities.

What services will be affected?

JDA has made it clear that at the moment they Emergency Services Will keep free from this strike, so that serious patients do not face any problem.
However, these services will be directly affected due to the strike:

• Patients admitted in wards: The care of patients admitted in wards will be affected.
• normal operation: General operations already fixed can be deferred.

Junior doctors are considered to be the ‘spinal cord’ of any medical college hospital. From OPD to Emergency and Ward, most of the burden of treatment of patients is on their shoulders. In such a situation, the entire health system is almost certain due to their strike.

It remains to be seen how soon and what decisions the government decides on these demands of doctors, because until a solution comes out, thousands of poor and common patients of the state will have to bear the brunt of this.
