Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Saturday expressed serious concern over rising violence against upright and hardworking doctors and the lodging of false cases against them.
The CJI said that he would also like to pay his tribute to the unending spirit of doctors, who work tirelessly round the clock for their patients.
"Doctors are mentors, guides, friends and counsellors. They should always remain active members of society, and solve problems faced by the people," he said.
The CJI said, "I am extremely saddened to witness rising violence against doctors. Several false cases are being lodged against upright and hardworking doctors. They need a better, and more secure, working environment." Speaking at the release of 'Atlas of Breast Elastography and Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Cytology', a book authored by Dr Col. CS Pant and Dr Vaneeta Kapur, the CJI said, "This is where professional medical associations assume great significance. They have to be proactive in highlighting the demands of doctors." He added that women form 50 per cent of the country's population and they are the backbone of the family and society, therefore, their health must find equal attention and reflection in our society and policies.
