Government doctors go on strike protesting arrest of two doctors

Government doctors go on strike

They protest arrest of two doctors

MADURAI : Normal functioning of the Government Rajaji Hospital here was affected from Thursday afternoon following a strike called by the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association, Madurai district.

The association members were protesting the manner in which two city doctors were arrested on Wednesday for alleged medical negligence that led to the death of a seven-year-old boy. The doctor couple were released on bail on Thursday.

The Tallakulam police registered a case under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) following a complaint lodged by the boy's kin alleging medical negligence.

All elective surgeries were stopped at the GRH from Thursday afternoon. Emergency operations would, however, be carried out unhindered. The members also decided to suspend all cooperation with the police and stopped issuing wound and postmortem certificates to all cases. Speaking to reporters, the association secretary, K. Senthil, said, "This action by the police is in direct violation of Supreme Court guidelines with regard to filing of cases against doctors and hospitals. They stipulate that unless a senior doctor in that speciality, preferably a government doctor, certifies gross negligence, a doctor cannot be arrested."

Dr. Senthil said that a similar directive had also been issued recently by the Director General of Police, which stated that arresting doctors would damage their morale and reputation.

An urgent general body meeting of the association was convened following which a meeting with the local office-bearers Indian Medical Association was also held.

"The IMA has endorsed our resolutions and private doctors have also extended their support," said Dr. Senthil.

Members of the TNGDA would stage a dharna on the hospital premises on Friday morning seeking action against the police and withdrawal of cases filed against the doctor couple.

The Dean (in-charge) of GRH, S.M. Sivakumar, said that the hospital administration was fully geared up to face any exigency. "We will ensure that emergency services remain unaffected."

Medicall - 3-day exhibition of medical equipment,

As part of creating awareness about the medical equipment available, few companies are sponsoring an exhibition. The three-day exhibition of medical equipment and hospital needs called "Medicall" will be held in Chennai starting from August 3rd 2007. This will conclude with a day-long seminar addressing the management aspects of medical clinics like finance for hospitals, medical equipment selection. About 80 companies will showcase medical devices and technology including trolleys, furniture, operation theatre equipment and medical software.

Event Profile
Medicall was organised for the first time in august 2006. This was first such event in chennai. It attracted hospital owners from all over india. There were more than 100 exhibitors , which attracted even small hospital owners. There was a unique seminar on equipment purchase. An equipment exchange mela attarcted many potential buyers.

Highlights
All the specialist conferences deal with only clinical topics. There are very few forums where hospital management topics are discussed. In this forum some basic needs of the nursing home owners are addressed. Hence the hospital needs seminar is expected to be a major crowd puller. All the speakers are leading professionals in their respective fields. It will be very beneficial for the hospital owners to have so many luminaries in the single platform.

Medicall 07
Both the Exhibitor and visitors felt if Medicall is organised every year, it would be beneficial for the Hospital Industry. MEDICALL'07 will be held once again at Rajah Muthiah Hall.

Why Rajah Muthiah Hall?
Rajah Muthiah and Rani Meyyammai Hall is situated very close to the centre of Chennai. It’s just few kilometers from the main railway stations and bus stand. Hence doctors from surrounding towns and nearby states have easy access.

Why should you be part of the show?
  • Your company products get better exposure.
  • You can introduce new products in South Indian market.
  • Can get distributors for your
  • Establish a good customer base in South India especially Chennai, the health care hub of India.
Why you should participate even if you have only specialty products?
  • Many specialists visited the expo to make other purchase for their hospitals like Furnitures, OT/ICU equipments, software etc. Hence there was more specialists’ participation in MEDCALL than specialty conferences.
  • Many times the specialist who visits the conferences is not the decision makers. Hence
"be there where decision makers are there"
How is MEDICALL different from specialty conferences?
Specialty conferences are organized for academic interactions and knowledge upgradation. The visitors to these conferences spend little time in the stalls as they are busy with the academic activities.
Hence Exhibitors felt that doctors spent more time in the stalls at MEDICALL.

Why Chennai?
  • Chennai is the health care hub of India.
  • First Indian corporate hospital, the Apollo hospital group is headquartered at Chennai.
  • Maximum number of medical tourists visits Chennai.
  • With the boom in IT and other manufacturing sectors in Chennai, many new multispeciality hospital projects are in pipeline. Hence business is expected to be good.
