Violence Against Doctors Persists Despite Safety Demands

Violence Against Doctors Persists Despite Safety Demands

Doctors and medical staff in India continue to face violence from patient attendants, despite demands for better security measures.

Recent incidents in Dombivli and Rajasthan highlight the ongoing issue.

Doctors argue for the deployment of security personnel, CCTVs, and a Central Act to protect them.

They also emphasize the need for clinical training to handle difficult situations.

Patient attendants, however, believe doctors should prioritize patient care and communication.

The high workload and lack of administrative support add to the doctors' stress.

Doctors are calling for a safe working environment and uniform protection across the country.
