KGMOA protests attack on doctors

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM DEC. 21. The Kerala Government Medical Officers' Association (KGMOA) has protested the attack on doctors by some employees of the Pulayanarkotta Chest Sanatorium on Friday and demanded that the Government take stringent action against those responsible for the attack.

The doctor who took charge as the Superintendent at Pulayanarkotta five months ago had taken stern measures to ensure that hospital employees reported for duty on time and that hygienic standards in the hospital were not lowered. He had also taken several steps to prevent corruption in the hospital, the KGMOA said.

A section of the employees had launched the attack against the doctor and barged into the office of the DMO with the help of vested interests, KGMOA alleged in a statement here.

If the Government did not take steps to create a congenial atmosphere for doctors to do their duty, they would be forced to launch protest programmes, the statement said.
