Jaipur: Medical services across the country are likely to be hit today as doctors affiliated to the Indian Medical Association (IMA) will go on a daylong nationwide strike to protest the proposed amendments to Acts related to clinical establishment and private practice.
"Private hospitals, consulting chambers, diagnostic centres, clinics, nursing homes will remain closed on June 25," Indian Medical Associations state honorary Secretary Dr SS Agrawal told reporters in Jaipur on Saturday.
He also said that government doctors will wear black ribbons around their arms on duty as a sign of protest.
"The Central government is also trying to amend certain Acts related to clinical establishment and private practise which is likely to adversely affect the profession," he said.
"We will take out a rally and submit a memorandum addressed to Prime Minister to the district collector against the proposed amendments and other moves of the government," he said adding that the emergency services will remain unaffected during the strike.
"Delivery of service would become difficult for us after the proposed amendments which would help corruption flourish," Dr Vijay Kapoor, Secretary, Private Hospitals and Nursing Home Society, said.
