Health services were affected for a brief period today as over 50,000 resident doctors and medical students of several hospitals across the country, including AIIMS here, observed a token strike over demands regarding the National Medical Commission Bill.
The call for the stir was given by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) which said that the Bill, if passed in the current form even after some amendments, will lead to continuation of nationwide strike of doctors and medical students.
Union Health Minister J P Nadda, meanwhile, talked to the IMA President over the issue.
In the national capital, a protest was held outside Gate No.1 of AIIMS.
The AIIMS RDA President Harjit Singh Bhatti said, "They trapped us into the amendments of proposed in NMC Bill but these amendments are not at all acceptable."
