About 150 junior doctors are on protest, demanding that either the Health Minister or the Chief Minister address them in person at the hospital regarding their demands.
‘You hit, I quit’, ‘Here to Serve, Not to suffer’ placards were held up, as protesting junior doctors from Hyderabad’s Gandhi Hospital raised slogans of “We want justice” sitting on the city’s roads. They are continuing their protest for the second day on Wednesday demanding that their issues be addressed after two doctors were attacked by the relatives of a COVID-19 patient on Tuesday night.
Gandhi Hospital is the nodal center for the treatment of all coronavirus patients in Telangana. The state government has dedicated the hospital to solely deal with COVID-19 cases. As per a recent CMO statement, the hospital has the facility to treat 2,150 patients, which includes 1,000 beds with oxygen supply facility.
Meanwhile, due to the lack of junior doctors, nurses and assistant professors are covering COVID-19 patients in all the 10 wards since Tuesday evening, said sources from the hospital. For incubation and other processes that nurses are not allowed to perform on their own, they are now being helped by assistant professors.
