The Hindu
Association threatens to suspend all services, including COVID-19 vaccination
The Kochi chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) is set to launch a protest against the alleged assault of an emergency doctor at a hospital at Pookkattupady in Ernakulam district. The association has threatened to suspend all services, including COVID-19 vaccination. It alleged that the duty doctor at the emergency wing of the hospital was assaulted, both verbally and physically, by a man who had gone to the hospital for treatment of his wife and children with COVID-like symptoms. Despite the Edathala police registering a case, the accused continues to roam around freely owing to his influence, the association alleged at a press conference here on Monday. It shot down the police claim that the accused had been absconding.More Related News
