IMA Bihar to oppose Centre’s move to dissolve MCI
Patna,(BiharTimes): The Bihar Chapter of the Indian Medical Association has unanimously decided to oppose what it said the Centre’s “undemocratic” move of dissolving the Medical Council of India.
The IMA also decided to bring all associations and federations of medical practitioners across the country on one platform and take the fight to streets if he Centre did not cancel its decision on MCI.
Addressing a Press conferene here on Saturday IMA national coordinator Dr N Appa Rao, said a delegation of doctors would meet the President and Prime Minister to request them to take back the decision.
He said that in this connection they would meet various leaders of opposition parties, chief ministers and MPs.
Dr Rao said that the MCI was established in 1934 under the Medical Council of India Act. The Act was repealed and the MCI was reorganized in 1956 to maintain the professional standard of the medical education in India. The government can not dissolve it for the misdeeds of a single person.
Dr Basant Singh, Dr Vijay Shankar Singh, Dr Sahajanand Prasad Singh, Dr Manju Geeta Mishra, Dr Sachchidanand Kumar, Dr A K Thakur, Dr Narendra Prasad, Dr Harihar Dikshit and Dr S L Mandal, Dr Ramesh Prasad Singh and Dr Ashok Kumar Yadav were present on the occasion.
The above reactions are on expected lines.
Bihar was known to be the most corrupt state in India.
After Nitish Kumar came things have changed but it seems he has not been able to reform the doctors.
I lived in in Patna for three years so I should know.
I have commented of the doctors in North India but the doctors in Bihar are the worst lot. So how could they allow a diminution in their power. They have a genuine fear. The MCI has been dissolved and they know the IMA would be the next target for the IMA has become an organisation of back scratchers.
It has become a great club where every member helps the others earn money and the patient may go to hell.
The general public supports the government in cleaning up the rot that has set in and take it to the logical next step of dismantling the IMA.
Does it surprise you when we have incidents like those in Peerless Hospital a few days? It does not surprise me.
The anger against the injustice and arrogance of doctors gradually builds up in the masses and when it reaches breaking point, the dam bursts.
The house surgeons go on strike, some people are arrested and then everything is back to normal.
The doctors arrogance and injustice again rises while the grade IV employees in the hospitals run the show until the next incident.
I would suggest the central government put the income tax people after the doctors who were present in the meeting. I am sure they must have amassed wealth beyond their grandfather's imagination.
