&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A nationwide association of doctors has called on its members to observe a strike on June 25 to protest against several government initiatives, including a move to improve quality standards in clinics and hospitals.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) is opposing the implementation of the Clinical Establishment Act that imposes certain minimum standards for infrastructure, space, equipment, and qualified paramedical staff on clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Senior IMA executives said the strike was intended to be a show of protest against a government plan to introduce a National Exit Examination for all MBBS graduates in India and a proposal to launch a Bachelor of Rural Health Care course (BRHC) to create a cadre of alternative health care providers in rural areas bereft of doctors. The IMA has 200,000 doctors as members, about one-third of India&amp;rsquo;s estimated 600,000 doctors practising modern medicine.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re calling on our members to keep their out-patient departments closed &amp;mdash; and only attend to emergency cases,&amp;rdquo; said Jayesh Lele, the state secretary of the IMA, Mumbai. &amp;ldquo;Those who continue to work could do so with black tapes or placards.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA has said running clinics under the new rules imposed by the Clinical Establishment Act would mean having fully equipped clinics which will increase treatment costs. It has said the BRHC course would produce &amp;ldquo;half-baked doctors,&amp;rdquo; and has asked the government to improve facilities in rural areas to make them attractive for doctors.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But many doctors say the IMA call reflects its consistent opposition to regulation. &amp;ldquo;The IMA&amp;rsquo;s reaction is disappointing, but also predictable,&amp;rdquo; said Sanjay Nagral, a surgeon in Mumbai and member of the editorial board of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics .
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA had earlier this month demanded an apology from actor Aamir Khan for hosting a television programme in which doctors and patients discussed medical misdemeanours by members of the medical profession.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The IMA is opposing initiatives that are intended to improve quality and access to health services,&amp;rdquo; said Kunchala Shyamprasad, a cardiothoracic surgeon in Chennai and former member of a government task force on medical education. The Clinical Establishment Act, he said, is expected to introduce minimum quality standards in all clinics, nursing homes and hospitals. The BRHC is expected to produce rural health care providers trained to treat some of the common illnesses in areas where doctors are unavailable.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A nationwide association of doctors has called on its members to observe a strike on June 25 to protest against several government initiatives, including a move to improve quality standards in clinics and hospitals.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) is opposing the implementation of the Clinical Establishment Act that imposes certain minimum standards for infrastructure, space, equipment, and qualified paramedical staff on clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Senior IMA executives said the strike was intended to be a show of protest against a government plan to introduce a National Exit Examination for all MBBS graduates in India and a proposal to launch a Bachelor of Rural Health Care course (BRHC) to create a cadre of alternative health care providers in rural areas bereft of doctors. The IMA has 200,000 doctors as members, about one-third of India&amp;rsquo;s estimated 600,000 doctors practising modern medicine.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re calling on our members to keep their out-patient departments closed &amp;mdash; and only attend to emergency cases,&amp;rdquo; said Jayesh Lele, the state secretary of the IMA, Mumbai. &amp;ldquo;Those who continue to work could do so with black tapes or placards.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA has said running clinics under the new rules imposed by the Clinical Establishment Act would mean having fully equipped clinics which will increase treatment costs. It has said the BRHC course would produce &amp;ldquo;half-baked doctors,&amp;rdquo; and has asked the government to improve facilities in rural areas to make them attractive for doctors.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But many doctors say the IMA call reflects its consistent opposition to regulation. &amp;ldquo;The IMA&amp;rsquo;s reaction is disappointing, but also predictable,&amp;rdquo; said Sanjay Nagral, a surgeon in Mumbai and member of the editorial board of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics .
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA had earlier this month demanded an apology from actor Aamir Khan for hosting a television programme in which doctors and patients discussed medical misdemeanours by members of the medical profession.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The IMA is opposing initiatives that are intended to improve quality and access to health services,&amp;rdquo; said Kunchala Shyamprasad, a cardiothoracic surgeon in Chennai and former member of a government task force on medical education. The Clinical Establishment Act, he said, is expected to introduce minimum quality standards in all clinics, nursing homes and hospitals. The BRHC is expected to produce rural health care providers trained to treat some of the common illnesses in areas where doctors are unavailable.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A nationwide association of doctors has called on its members to observe a strike on June 25 to protest against several government initiatives, including a move to improve quality standards in clinics and hospitals.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) is opposing the implementation of the Clinical Establishment Act that imposes certain minimum standards for infrastructure, space, equipment, and qualified paramedical staff on clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Senior IMA executives said the strike was intended to be a show of protest against a government plan to introduce a National Exit Examination for all MBBS graduates in India and a proposal to launch a Bachelor of Rural Health Care course (BRHC) to create a cadre of alternative health care providers in rural areas bereft of doctors. The IMA has 200,000 doctors as members, about one-third of India&amp;rsquo;s estimated 600,000 doctors practising modern medicine.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re calling on our members to keep their out-patient departments closed &amp;mdash; and only attend to emergency cases,&amp;rdquo; said Jayesh Lele, the state secretary of the IMA, Mumbai. &amp;ldquo;Those who continue to work could do so with black tapes or placards.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA has said running clinics under the new rules imposed by the Clinical Establishment Act would mean having fully equipped clinics which will increase treatment costs. It has said the BRHC course would produce &amp;ldquo;half-baked doctors,&amp;rdquo; and has asked the government to improve facilities in rural areas to make them attractive for doctors.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But many doctors say the IMA call reflects its consistent opposition to regulation. &amp;ldquo;The IMA&amp;rsquo;s reaction is disappointing, but also predictable,&amp;rdquo; said Sanjay Nagral, a surgeon in Mumbai and member of the editorial board of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics .
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA had earlier this month demanded an apology from actor Aamir Khan for hosting a television programme in which doctors and patients discussed medical misdemeanours by members of the medical profession.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The IMA is opposing initiatives that are intended to improve quality and access to health services,&amp;rdquo; said Kunchala Shyamprasad, a cardiothoracic surgeon in Chennai and former member of a government task force on medical education. The Clinical Establishment Act, he said, is expected to introduce minimum quality standards in all clinics, nursing homes and hospitals. The BRHC is expected to produce rural health care providers trained to treat some of the common illnesses in areas where doctors are unavailable.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) is opposing the implementation of the Clinical Establishment Act that imposes certain minimum standards for infrastructure, space, equipment, and qualified paramedical staff on clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Senior IMA executives said the strike was intended to be a show of protest against a government plan to introduce a National Exit Examination for all MBBS graduates in India and a proposal to launch a Bachelor of Rural Health Care course (BRHC) to create a cadre of alternative health care providers in rural areas bereft of doctors. The IMA has 200,000 doctors as members, about one-third of India&amp;rsquo;s estimated 600,000 doctors practising modern medicine.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re calling on our members to keep their out-patient departments closed &amp;mdash; and only attend to emergency cases,&amp;rdquo; said Jayesh Lele, the state secretary of the IMA, Mumbai. &amp;ldquo;Those who continue to work could do so with black tapes or placards.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA has said running clinics under the new rules imposed by the Clinical Establishment Act would mean having fully equipped clinics which will increase treatment costs. It has said the BRHC course would produce &amp;ldquo;half-baked doctors,&amp;rdquo; and has asked the government to improve facilities in rural areas to make them attractive for doctors.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But many doctors say the IMA call reflects its consistent opposition to regulation. &amp;ldquo;The IMA&amp;rsquo;s reaction is disappointing, but also predictable,&amp;rdquo; said Sanjay Nagral, a surgeon in Mumbai and member of the editorial board of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics .
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The IMA had earlier this month demanded an apology from actor Aamir Khan for hosting a television programme in which doctors and patients discussed medical misdemeanours by members of the medical profession.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The IMA is opposing initiatives that are intended to improve quality and access to health services,&amp;rdquo; said Kunchala Shyamprasad, a cardiothoracic surgeon in Chennai and former member of a government task force on medical education. The Clinical Establishment Act, he said, is expected to introduce minimum quality standards in all clinics, nursing homes and hospitals. The BRHC is expected to produce rural health care providers trained to treat some of the common illnesses in areas where doctors are unavailable.

Doc strike against govt clinic rules

-The Telegraph A nationwide association of doctors has called on its members to observe a strike on June 25 to protest against several government initiatives, including a move to improve quality standards in clinics and hospitals. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) is opposing the implementation of the Clinical Establishment Act that imposes certain minimum standards for infrastructure, space, equipment, and qualified paramedical staff on clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals. Senior IMA executives said the strike was intended to be a show of protest against a government plan to introduce a National Exit Examination for all MBBS graduates in India and a proposal to launch a Bachelor of Rural Health Care course (BRHC) to create a cadre of alternative health care providers in rural areas bereft of doctors. The IMA has 200,000 doctors as members, about one-third of India’s estimated 600,000 doctors practising modern medicine. “We’re calling on our members to keep their out-patient departments closed — and only attend to emergency cases,” said Jayesh Lele, the state secretary of the IMA, Mumbai. “Those who continue to work could do so with black tapes or placards.” The IMA has said running clinics under the new rules imposed by the Clinical Establishment Act would mean having fully equipped clinics which will increase treatment costs. It has said the BRHC course would produce “half-baked doctors,” and has asked the government to improve facilities in rural areas to make them attractive for doctors. But many doctors say the IMA call reflects its consistent opposition to regulation. “The IMA’s reaction is disappointing, but also predictable,” said Sanjay Nagral, a surgeon in Mumbai and member of the editorial board of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics . The IMA had earlier this month demanded an apology from actor Aamir Khan for hosting a television programme in which doctors and patients discussed medical misdemeanours by members of the medical profession. “The IMA is opposing initiatives that are intended to improve quality and access to health services,” said Kunchala Shyamprasad, a cardiothoracic surgeon in Chennai and former member of a government task force on medical education. The Clinical Establishment Act, he said, is expected to introduce minimum quality standards in all clinics, nursing homes and hospitals. The BRHC is expected to produce rural health care providers trained to treat some of the common illnesses in areas where doctors are unavailable.
