FAIMA urged immediate action in the case of the brutal assault on resident doctors at BHU.
The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) demanded immediate action in the case of the brutal assault on resident doctors at BHU.
"It has been seen that several resident doctors, including female colleagues, providing essential emergency medical services, health care workers were brutally assaulted by individuals claiming to be BHU students armed with sharp weapons, lathis and other such weapons. The unfortunate incident happened in the presence of authorities, including the Deputy Medical Superintendent, Emergency In-charge, along with the Head of the Medicine Department was an eye opening incident that should be taken very seriously," said FAIMA's statement.
We urge other National/State Doctors' associations to support residents of BHU and join us in taking the initiative to create a healthcare system that prioritizes the safety of healthcare workers. The FAIMA demands immediate action to address such sensitive issues, said FAIMA.
The doctors' association has demanded to identify and suspend the individuals responsible for this act, implement enhanced security measures in the emergency services at IMS, BHU, increase the number of resident doctors in the emergency department to distribute the workload and improve patient care, and arrangement of proper security management and training to the existing security personnel about the way to manage such attack.
