With the rising number of Covid cases, the Indian Medical Association on Wednesday suggested that the Centre and state governments should limit the duty of resident doctors on Covid-19 patients to eight hours and make provision for taking care of their mental health.
According to the IMA, “In the event of Covid duty doctors becoming ill, they should be admitted to government/private hospital at the earliest and in case of untimely death, the status of Covid martyr and compensation as well as casewise assistance should be arranged.”
“The Indian Medical Association (HQs) wants to suggest to the State Governments or the Central Government associated with the concerned medical college so that the safety of doctors from infection can be ensured to a great extent because doctors are the backbone of Indian health services in the pandemic,” the statement read.
If further stated that the Covid-19 duty of resident doctors should not exceed eight hours per day and seven days, after which there should be a quarantine of 10 to 14 days in the accommodation prescribed by the hospital.
