FORDA demands
At a press conference on Tuesday, FORDA President Dr. Manish: “Firstly, we would like the authorities concerned to ensure that we have a consultation appointment immediately after the Supreme Court hearing on January 6th, as the police mistreated the doctors. Third, we want the withdrawal of the FIRs registered against demonstrators. “
Meanwhile, patients continue to bear the brunt of the ongoing doctors’ strike.
After resident doctors across the country continued their protest against the delay in NEET-PG consultation and warned against suspending “all health services” from Wednesday, the Union Ministry of Health held an emergency meeting on Tuesday with a 12-member delegation of FORDA officials convened.

“With the brutal beatings and imprisonment of doctors, the government and police have hit a new low. The medical profession has shown exemplary sacrifices for this nation at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic caused a bloodbath,” it said.
In Bhopal, Bhubaneswar and other parts of the country there were also demonstrations in solidarity with the protesting resident doctors.
On December 24, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to resolve the NEET-PG advisory crisis and increase the workforce to address a possible third wave of Covid-19 infections.
It should be noted that the original NEET PG exam was scheduled for January 2021 but was postponed in light of the first and second waves of Covid-19 and held on September 12, 2021, the letter said. However, due to legal obstacles from the Supreme Court, counseling was denied, resulting in a shortage of 45,000 frontline doctors, the letter said.
