Building collapse victim’s life at risk: Parents urge Telangana Chief Minister amidst Gandhi Hospital strike
Hyderabad: In a dramatic turn of events, the parents of a 25-year-old woman, Jyoti, have urgently appealed to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to intervene in saving their daughter’s life.
According to reports, Jyoti, who was injured in a building collapse on August 18, 2024, is in dire need of surgery, but her treatment is being impeded due to an ongoing strike by neurosurgeons at Gandhi Hospital.
The patient named Jyoti, who was shifted to Gandhi Hospital by 108 Ambulance following the incident, was diagnosed with fractures in her ankle and left leg. Scans have confirmed the need for immediate surgical intervention. She is currently registered under case number 54897 at TMT 1st Floor, Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad.
Sushila, Jyoti’s mother, explained, “We live in Andhra Pradesh and have Arogya Shri coverage there, but not in Telangana. I am deeply concerned as the neurosurgeon here is on strike.”
In a heartfelt plea, Sushila added, “My daughter’s life is in danger. The lady doctor who was tragically killed in Kolkata was also like my daughter. I am begging you to please save my daughter.”
NIMS doctors strike; Emergencies unaffected
Meanwhile, the Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) of NIMS has expressed profound grief and condemned the brutal murder of a female resident doctor in Kolkata. They continue to protest in solidarity with the national response to this tragedy.
The RDA of NIMS has announced that starting August 19, 2024, at 8:00 a.m., they will indefinitely boycott all outpatient department (OPD) services and elective surgeries. However, emergency services remain unaffected.
The Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) of NIMS is demanding justice for the murdered doctor and her family. They are also calling for the immediate implementation of the Central Protection Act (Prevention of Violence against Healthcare Professionals and Clinical Establishments, 2022 – Draft Bill) and the enactment of the Special Protection Force as outlined in GO 103/2019 by the State of Telangana.
