FAIMA calls for complete withdrawal from all healthcare services across the country from December 29

FAIMA calls for complete withdrawal from all healthcare services across the country from 29/12/21 in protest against police brutality towards their colleagues in Delhi and for immediate declaration of NEET PG 2021 counselling schedule

This is to inform all that the medical fraternity stands absolutely shocked at the sheer display of unprovoked brute force by Delhi Police on our colleagues who have been peacefully protesting in Delhi and many other states since the last one month, with their genuine demand for the immediate declaration of NEET PG 2021 counselling schedule. However, the lathi charge on our resident doctors and manhandling of many female residents by male police personnel during their peaceful demonstration is a pathetic display of the shameless attitude of the authorities, who we could not believe would stoop so low.

FAIMA strongly condemns the abuse of power by the Delhi Police and demands immediate suspension of all police personnel at whose directions force was used on our doctors. The videos which have surfaced and the stories which have been shared are horrific and makes us question whether we have gone back to the barbaric times, or whether the administration feels like they can do whatever they want to suppress dissent?

It is reminded to the authorities that FAIMA and its associated RDAS had shown great restraint till now and had not stopped emergency services. However the government and the authorities have currently left us with no other option. If the authorities think they can get away with using whatever oppressive means they have at their disposal, they are wrong and it is time for all doctors to show unity and solidarity with our colleagues who have been mercilessly handled, gheraoed, dragged and detained! &

FAIMA has just now concluded a high-level meATION with our associated State RDAS and their representatives. In solidarity with FORDA and other RDAS already protesting in Delhi, we hereby call for Complete Withdrawal from All Healthcare Services across the Country from 8 AM on 29/12/2021.

FAIMA calls upon all RDAS and Doctors’ Associations of the country to give their letters of intimation regarding their withdrawal from services to their respective administrative authoirties today itself and join in the nationwide agitation from tomorrow on 29/12/21.
