Private doctors’ protest near Suvarna Soudha enters fourth day

Belagavi, Nov 16: The protest by private doctors near the Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi entered the fourth day on Thursday.

Members of a few district units of the Indian Medical Association participated in a relay hunger strike, demanding that the government defer tabling the amendments to the Karnataka Private Medical Establishments Act.

The doctors are demanding removal of clauses such as setting up a grievance redressal committee at the district level against erring doctors, the government fixing fees for various services and penalty and jail term for wilful disservice.

 This has thrown health care services into disarray across Karnataka, especially Belagavi.

Private clinics and nursing homes in the city downed shutters in solidarity with the protest.

However, patients had to suffer; while some decided to postpone their visit to their doctor, others chose to go to the government hospitals.
