The Indian Medical Association (IMA) in Pune is working hard to create a new law that will protect doctors and other healthcare workers. Right now, the rules in different states aren’t strong enough to stop violence against doctors. Many doctors are facing attacks, and the IMA believes that a national law is needed to keep them safe.
Dr. Dilip Bhanushali, the National President of IMA, explained that the current laws allow people who hurt doctors to get bail very quickly. The new law they want to create would make sure that anyone who attacks a doctor would have to go to jail for at least seven years, and they wouldn’t be allowed to get bail during that time.
The IMA has talked to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and he’s shown support for the idea of a national law to protect healthcare workers. This is an important step for doctors who want better safety while they work.
The new law would make sure that all states have the same rules for protecting doctors. This means that no matter where a doctor works in India, they’ll have the same safety measures. This will help stop violence against them.
Doctors are worried because there have been more attacks on them recently, making their work very dangerous. The new law would help keep doctors safe and make sure they can take care of patients without fear.
The IMA is asking for quick action on this law because protecting doctors is very important. They want to create a safe workplace for doctors and ensure that everyone in India can get the medical help they need without any problems.
