Maharashtra doctors continue strike for 4th day despite govt warning

Yet another attack on a resident doctor took place last night by a patient's relatives at city's Sion Hospital.

Medical services in 17 government hospitals in Maharashtra, including four in Mumbai, have been affected because of the protest.

Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court will today hear the junior doctors' mass leave matter.

The doctors also want the immediate implementation of the ‘two-relatives-per-patient’ rule.

Over 4,000 resident doctors are staying away from work since yesterday demanding better security for them at the hospitals.

The doctors did not report to work to protest the two recent incidents - one in Dhule and another at the Sion hospital in Mumbai.

The Maharashtra Police had arrested 9 accused of beating up a doctor in a hospital at Dhule by a patient's relatives.
