In the wake of a nationwide outrage over the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, the Centre has directed all healthcare institutions to file a case within six hours in case of violence against doctors. In a memo to all healthcare institutions, the Ministry of Health said the sole responsibility to file the FIR lies with the head of the institution.
The directive comes amid widespread protests by doctors across the country demanding the implementation of legislation to protect healthcare professionals against violence in the aftermath of the murder of the 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Resident doctors from major government hospitals in Delhi, including AIIMS, Safdarjung Hospital and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, shut down elective services and went on strike.
