Urging the state government to fulfil the genuine demands of doctors of Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar, and its associated hospitals, CPI(M) today appealed to the medicos to exempt critical services from their strike.
"We urge the state government to fulfil the genuine demands of doctors of Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar and its associated hospitals. We appeal to the medicos to exempt the critical services from the strike," CPI(M) leader and MLA Kulgam Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami said.
He said whatever be the circumstances, the patients must not suffer.
Government should settle the issues with the striking doctors through negotiations and not through invoking ESMA, Tarigami said.
The legislator said the authorities must ensure that all the emergency services remain functional so that poor patients, some of whom travel from far-off places for treatment don't suffer.
"In the last two-days reports of patients returning from hospitals without treatment are pouring in", he said. Ensuring adequate healthcare services has become more imperative especially in view of the flood alert sounded by the government due to inclement weather conditions, he said.
