Health services paralysed in DMCH in Bihar

Darbhanga, July 21 (UNI) Health services in Darbhanga Medical College Hospital(DMCH) came to a grinding halt today following the doctors' strike.

The agitating resident junior doctors locked its OPD and Emergency ward in protest against the non-payment of stipends to them for the past three months.

Principal(in-charge) of DMCH Dr R R P Singh said here that about 300 junior resident doctors had forcibly paralysed the health service at the hospital causing a harrowing time for the patients.

Some of the patients, admitted in the hospital, had been shifted to private nursing homes by their relatives, he added.

Mr Singh, however, said the hospital administration had requested the state government to release the fund for the payment of stipends to the agitating doctors.

Meanwhile, employees of the DMCH were on strike since yesterday protesting against the alleged misbehaviour with them by the agitating junior doctors.
