In a show of solidarity with agitating PG doctors of Gandhi Hospital, members of the Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA) too held simultaneous protests across all teaching hospitals in the city, including Niloufer Hospital, Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital and Osmania General Hospital.
TJUDA members highlighted in a representation submitted to the state health minister that the mounting pressure of Covid-19 cases on Gandhi Hospital was leading to the crumbling of already dismal infrastructure.
“It is condemnable and pathetic to see public brutally attack us at work despite all the risk the professionals are taking to serve people,” said Dr Vaddiraju Rakesh, vicepresident of THANA.
Meanwhile, Congress blamed the TRS government for the attack on doctors at Gandhi Hospital.
