 Doctors have no right to strike
|
Dr. Kunal Saha President, People for Better Treatment (PBT) HIV/AIDS Research Center Columbus, Ohio, USA
Junior doctors in Patna have started an indefinite “doctors’ strike” demanding a higher scale of payment for their service. While the members of the medical profession joining a “strike” to settle their personal demand against the government and in the process, disrupting the entire hospital function putting the lives of the innocent patients in great peril is unthinkable in the developed countries, “strike” by our healers is not new in India. One shudders to imagine how doctors can easily disregard the Hippocratic Oath of serving the humanity first and simply stop working to satisfy their selfish interest putting the healthcare services in total disarray. Leaving aside this ethical question, do doctors have a legal right to go on a “strike” putting the lives of defenseless patients in serious danger? Who should be held responsible for the death of the innocent patients who died as a result of “doctors’ strike”? The government as well as the members f the medical community who have participated in this “doctors’ strike” must answer these important questions.
