health π©Ί High Court: Doctors can never go on strike
The Bombay High Court ruled that doctors cannot resort to strikes under any circumstances to protect patient lives. This decision came after the court took suo motu cognisance of the Indian Medical Association's call for a 24-hour strike on August 6. Although the IMA withdrew the strike, they still oppose the Maharashtra Medical Council's decision to register homeopathic practitioners. The court stressed that patient safety overrides any professional dispute, questioning the logic of such actions. The matter is now listed again on September 8 for further proceedings. π©Ί
