Medical facilities will remain closed in Punjab today. Neither the patients will be checked in the OPD nor there be any routine work in the hospitals. This is going to happen with the decision of the Indian Medical Association. Indian Medical Association has decided to go on strike to get justice for Dr Archana Sharma, who committed suicide due to a BJP leader in Dausa, Rajasthan.
The Indian Medical Association Association has issued a letter saying that all medical facilities will be stopped on Saturday and tribute will be paid to the doctor who committed suicide, Archana Sharma.
The Indian Medical Association has also used very strict words in its letter regarding the strike. The Indian Medical Association has also urged all the members in the letter to keep an eye on whether any doctor is rendering services during the strike. If giving, then photographs of such black sheep should be sent to the Indian Medical Association, so that action can be taken against them.
Unable to bear the accusation of medical negligence and murder charges, a doctor named Archana Sharma died by suicide in Rajasthan's Dausa district. Dr. Archana Sharma was accused of medical negligence under whose watch a pregnant woman lost her life in a Lalsot-based private hospital. Dr. Archana Sahram, a gynecologist, hanged herself inside a room in the hospital after which the family of the deceased created ruckus and accused the doctor of medical negligence.
Not only this, the husband of the patient filed an FIR against Dr. Archana Sharma for medical negligence and blamed him for his wife's death. As per reports, the pregnant woman died due to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) post-delivery.
