· Taking
forward from the Dilli Chalo movement, there will be a mass fasting by doctors
in India on 2nd October
New Delhi, 24 September, 2017: As
an outcome of an Action Group meeting, and later ratified by the Central
Working Committee meeting the IMA will organize a dawn-to-dusk fast throughout
the country on 2 October 2017.
The fast is a move towards drawing the government and
people's attention to the violence in hospitals. Through this peaceful protest,
the IMA also aims to reinforce its demand for Central Hospital Protection Act
and the implementation of the inter-ministerial committee recommendations,
which were a result of two years persistent efforts of IMA with the ministry.
Earlier the Dilli Chalo movement in June this year saw
participation by over 100,000 both in person and through digital media.
The IMA
also initiated a signature campaign on the issues at hand on social media for
doctors, to demand justice from the government.
The 218th
meeting of IMA's Central Working Committee (CWC) in New Delhi, on the sidelines
of the Centenary Celebrations of Medical Conferences held at The Grand Vasant
Kunj, New Delhi, also discussed the status of the demands raised by the IMA as
part of the Dilli Chalo campaign.
Speaking about this, Padma Shri
Awardee Dr K K Aggarwal, National President Indian Medical Association (IMA)
and President Heart Care Foundation of India (HCFI) and Dr RN Tandon – Honorary
Secretary General IMA in a joint statement, said, "The
IMA is the only national voluntary organization representing the
collective consciousness of doctors of modern scientific system of medicine in
the country, with its Headquarters in New Delhi. In line with our resolution of
upholding the interest of the medical profession, many issues were raised
during the Dilli Chalo movement. The inter-ministerial committee considered our
demands. However, the fact is that in medical profession the actions need to be
implemented without wait. Violence against doctors continues, rights of the
medical fraternity are trampled upon, and there is no action taken towards
modifying draconian acts. This meeting is an urgent call for action, and till
such time our efforts will not subside.”
The concept of IMA was born out
of these conferences in response to a need of a national organization of
doctors. A resolution adopted at the 5th All India Medical conference held at
Calcutta in the year 1928 led to the formation of an All India Medical
Association. The objectives were to improve medical education, promote medical
and allied sciences in their different branches and safeguard interests of the
medical profession.
Adding further, Dr Aggarwal,
said, “This CWC meeting assumes importance as it is a landmark year for the
Association and also because it is time to work further to uphold the dignity
of this profession. Towards this, on2nd October, all doctors of modern medicine
in the country will undertake a dawn to dusk fast in continuation of our Dilli
Chalo movement. The fast will be held in Delhi; Sabarmati, Gujarat; and Wardha,
Maharashtra.”
