SPECIAL ORDINANCE FOR SAFETY OF MEDICAL OFFICERS

OUR STATE TNGDA HAS REQUESTED AN ORDINANCE FOR THE SAFETY OF GOVT DOCTORS, WHO ARE OFTEN ABUSED VERBALLY AND IN EXTREME SITUATIONS ASSAULTED BY THE PUBLIC, SOMETIMES EVEN BY SUBORDINATES, WHILE DISCHARGING THIER DUTIES IN SERVICE. WE ARE WORKING IN HIGH RISK ENVIRONMENT, WHERE WE CANNOT MEET PUBLIC SATISFACTION EVERY TIME, WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES IN THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION, EITHER IN A PRIMARY HEALTH CENTER, OR IN A GOVT. HOSPITAL, OR EVEN IN A MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL. HENCE, ENSURING SAFETY OF GOVT. DOCTORS IS AT MOST PRIORITY. SO, WE HAVE REQUESTED THE STATE GOVT A SPECIAL ORDINANCE ENSURING THE SAFETY FOR MEDICAL OFFICERS IN DISCHARGING DUTIES. WE ARE ASSURED FAVORABLY BY THE STATE GOVT. WE REQUEST ALL OUR MEMBERS TO REPORT SUCH INCIDENTS IMMEDIATELY TO DISTRICT TNGDA OFFICE BEARERS AND THROUGH THEM STATE OFFICE, SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE ACTION TAKEN AGAINST RESPONSIBLE PERSONS BY CONCERNED AUTHORITIES. WE ALSO REQUEST YOU NOT TO WORSEN THE SITUATION BY HANDLING YOURSELF. YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND TNGDA ARE THERE TO HELP YOU IN CRISIS.
