Doctors in Hyderabad are upset about an attack on doctors at Korutla Area Hospital. They plan to protest with a rally called ‘Chalo Korutla’ on May 8.
The incident began when an auto driver named Najibur Rehman collapsed due to the heatwave. He was taken to the hospital, where the staff said there was no response from him. Rehman’s family asked for senior doctors, but none were available.
As a result of the delay and lack of doctors, the family became angry and attacked Dr. Shravan, who tried to hide in a room. The police tried to calm the situation, but the protestors did not stop. They even poured diesel on Dr. Shravan, who had to run for his life.
The Healthcare Reforms Doctors’ Association (HRDA) in Karimnagar visited the hospital to support Dr. Shravan. They are calling for a rally on May 8 if the culprits are not arrested and punished.
The Telangana Nurses’ Association (TNA) also condemned the attack and demanded legal action against the attackers. They referred to a law that imposes imprisonment for assaulting hospital staff.
The Telangana Junior Doctors’ Association (T-JUDA) also condemned the attack and demanded immediate action against those responsible. They emphasized that doctors work hard to save lives and should not be attacked.
