Officials of the IMA have said that public and major private hospitals will be functional while nursing homes and single-doc clinics will remain shut. Emergency services will not be affected. Also Read - J&J faulty implant victims await response



“Only the outpatient department will remain shut. In case of emergency, our doctors will attend to patients,” said Dr Jayesh Lele, honorary secretary, IMA, Maharashtra. Also Read - Parliamentary committee notifies health ministry to speed up setting of ART centres for HIV patients

In Mumbai, about 1,600 nursing homes are run by doctors who are IMA members. Additionally, about 30,000 doctors from all over the state will join the protest. “The Bill will escalate the cost of health care. To meet the criteria of the Bill, we need certain infrastructure, the cost of which will ultimately be borne by the patient,” said Dr Shivkumar Utture, financial secretary, IMA, Maharashtra. The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors has also pledged their support to IMA. The doctors are also protesting against the proposed National Commission for Human Resources for Health Bill, 2011, claiming that the powers of the Medical Council of India, the Dental Council of India and the Nursing Council of India will get diluted.

“The Bill wants to hand over the powers of these councils in the hands of bureaucrats who do not even have a medical background,” said Dr Utture. They will wear black badges as a mark of protest against the two Bills.
