Resident doctors at 14 major government hospitals in Delhi have decided to go on strike on Friday to demand better security, availability of essential drugs, and regularization of contract employees. The doctors' association has threatened an indefinite strike starting Monday if their demands are not addressed. The strike could severely impact the city's health system as it is already struggling with a swine flu outbreak. The health minister has assured the doctors that their demands will be met but the doctors' association says the government has not provided a concrete plan for addressing the issues.

At a time when the city is struggling to contain the swine
flu crisis, resident doctors of at least 14 prominent central
and staterun hospitals have decided to go on strike.“The
resident doctors of hospitals including Safdarjung, Ram
Manohar Lohia and Lok Nayak will be on strike on Friday
to press for demands such as better security , availability
of life saving drugs and policy for regularizing ad-hoc
employees,“ Dr Balvinder Singh, president of the
Federation of Resident Doctors Association of Delhi told
TOI.
The association has threatened to launch an indefinite
strike from Monday if the government fails to respond
positively to the demands. Singh said the stir was forced
on the doctors as the government had not acted on their
plea. Sources said the agitation would cripple the city's
health system. A senior central government official said
the doctors had been requested not to go on a strike as
their demands would be addressed.

Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain said he had held a
meeting with the resident doctors. “I have assured them that
all demands will be met. Also, we will write to Delhi Police
and the LG for enhancing security in hospitals,“ he said.
However, the doctors' association said the government had
given them no action plan on the issue. “We had submitted a
list of 17 key issues that needed to be addressed urgently on
February 12 itself. On Thursday , we gave a notice to go on
strike after which a se nior health ministry held a meeting.
But he failed to give any concrete action plan on how to
address them,“ Dr Balvinder Singh said.
Resident doctors of Guru Tegh Bahadur (GTB), the biggest
hospital in east Delhi, have been on strike for the past three
days to demand better security . “On Sunday , the relatives
of a patient had manhandled a resident doctor, triggering
protests and finally a strike,“ said Dr Amar Shekhar, the vice-
president GTB Resident Doctors' Association (RDA).

The doctors claim incidents of manhandling and molestation of
doctors are common. “There is always a scarcity of life-saving
drugs and surgical consumables.When we tell this to the
patient's family , they attack us. Also, only one attendant
should be allowed per patient to prevent chaos,“ said a
resident doctor at Lady Hard inge Medical College (LHMC).She
said one their colleagues was molested by attendants recently
.
At Hindu Rao hospital, doctors claimed they had not got
salaries for the last month. At Safdarjung hospital, he added,
there are only 86 hostel rooms for over 1,000 resident doctors.
TOI spoke to the medical superintendent of hospitals, who said
the strike would hit health services. “There is a huge rush of
patients due to swine flu and consultants cannot handle all
cases.The government will have to step in since the demands
are for all hospitals and not any one in particular,“ said one of
them.
