AIIMS Doctors Urge Delhi Govt to Resolve Delhi Medical Council Shutdown
Imagine doctors who want to help people in Delhi, but a very important office that gives them permission to work, called the Delhi Medical Council, is closed.
This office shut down because there were problems with how it was run, like extending people's jobs unfairly and money issues.
Now, many doctors can't get their papers in order to work, which means they might not get paid or can't start their new jobs.
The doctors are asking the city leaders to fix this quickly so they can keep helping patients without any problems.
AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association has urged Delhi's Chief Minister and Health Minister to address the shutdown of the Delhi Medical Council (DMC).
Hundreds of resident doctors in Delhi are unable to obtain mandatory DMC registration due to the council's administrative paralysis.
Doctors face stalled appointments, delayed salaries, and legal barriers to practice as a result of the DMC shutdown.
The Delhi Medical Council was dissolved on June 17 by the Delhi government following alleged administrative and financial irregularities.
The RDA has called for immediate action to restart DMC operations or implement a provisional registration system to prevent disruption of medical services.
