Assaults: Doctors to protest today in Kerala

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The government doctors, both in the health service and medical education department, will observe a protest day on Friday, expressing solidarity with the Indian Medical Association (IMA), which is observing national protest day against the attack on healthcare professionals.
The Kerala Government Medical College Teachers Association (KGMCTA) and Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) have pledged support to the IMA. However, the protest day will be observed without affecting the patient care.
KGMCTA state president Dr S Binoy said: “Even though the state has passed the Hospital Protection Act, those who assault the healthcare professionals go scot-free.”
