At least 40 patients die amid India doctors' strike:

More than 40 patients have died in the last five days amid an ongoing strike by doctors at public hospitals in India's Rajasthan state, CNN sister network CNN-IBN reported Sunday.

The government has suspended 40 doctors, and 390 others have been arrested for failing to perform their duties, CNN-IBN reported.

Some 10,000 doctors remained on strike. The doctors, who work at government-run hospitals that cater to the poor, are demanding higher salaries and better promotion opportunities that are on par with their counterparts in federal medical services.
But so far, the state government has not budged.

Instead, it made interim arrangements by bringing in 373 military doctors Saturday, said Dr. Lokendra Sharma of SMS Medical College in Jaipur. Another 1,000 doctors will be brought in Monday, he said.

The government has also tapped doctors from railway services, brought others out of retirement and has asked some private hospitals to provide care at government rates.

Army doctors have also stepped in to help out, and emergency services were restored in some hospitals, CNN-IBN reported Sunday.

Attempts by CNN to reach state health officials were unsuccessful.

"Patients, they are dying," said Dr. Ganpat Chandra Gupta, an anesthesiologist.

He said the government needs to negotiate with the state's government doctors.

"They are working in poor conditions," he said. "The government is deaf and dumb and blind."

Some questioned whether doctors ought to go on strike, risking death and injury for the sick.

But doctors in other Indian states sent letters of support for the peers in Rajasthan condemning the "insensitive and callous attitude" of the state government.

"The profession of doctors is very noble but when their voice is not heard they are forced to go on the path of agitation," said a letter signed by the heads of thee medical associations in Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

So next time a Pakistani posts BS about poverty in India or naxals, you will adopt the same stand.. Otherwise you are just being a two faced hypocrite..
 
BS thread, no point what so ever. What can we, as members, discuss here? Other than usual cheap tactics by Indian members.

Post reported and should be closed in due time.
 
4 people are killed in a city of around 20 million. Something to really make a thread about? In any huge city you expect there to be murders every day. It's just that the news rather call these target killings rather then murders or homicide because it adds that oomph factor.
 
RIP to the victims...

Four people killed due to sectarian violence along with thousand other killed in sectarian violence this year does make a point to craete a thread..

If people allowed to open multiple thread on Veena malik and other gay and lesbian stuffs.. why not on this critical issues ??
