Patients suffer due to doctors' stir at Puri hospital

Puri: Patients continue to suffer at the Puri District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) as doctors are on a cease-work stir today protesting the attack by a patient's attendant on a doctor on duty on Tuesday.

The hospital's doctors have refused to join duty without proper security.

Meanwhile, Additional District Medical Officer, Puri, Dr Basant Sahu is reportedly administering treatment to the patients at the casualty department due to the strike by doctors.

Ajay Sahu, relative of a patient, stated, "As doctors did not turn up, patients in the hospital are left to suffer."

On the other hand, the ADMO stated police should provide security to doctors at the hospital like it used to do earlier.

Reportedly on Tuesday, a patient's attendant attacked a doctor over some issues that sparked tension in the hospital.
