MY Hospital's junior doctors go on indefinite strike

Nearly 300 junior doctors today went on an indefinite strike, crippling health services at Madhya Pradesh's biggest government-run Maharaja Yeshwantrao (MY) Hospital here to protest the alleged beating of a colleague by family members of a patient.
The family members of a patient allegedly thrashed Dr Kumar Rahul following an altercation on August 21, Local Junior Doctors Association Anil Solanki said.
"We demand that those who had beaten Rahul should be booked and junior doctors be provided security," he said.
Rahul and family members of the patient have filed complaints against each other with police over the incident.
Meanwhile, the emergency health services at the hospital were affected due to the junior doctors' protest.

Arrangements have been made to provide health services to the patients amid the strike, MY hospital superintendent Dr V S Pal said.
