Thanks to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Sh @Dev_Fadnavis Ji. Govt of @CMOMaharashtra has issued an order directing all medical colleges in the state to adhere to the @MoHFW_INDIA’ 1992 Residency Scheme, limiting duty hours to a maximum of 48 hours per week and no more than 12 hours at a stretch. By doing so, Maharashtra has become the first state where the central government’s 1992 directive has been implemented after 34 years. @UDF_BHARAT has been demanding compliance with this for a long time. Last year, following our request, the Union Health Ministry convened a high-level meeting in Delhi on April 22, where UDF was also given an opportunity to present its views. Despite this, no concrete steps were taken by the central government. However, the Maharashtra government has now implemented it, bringing hope to PG students. UDF believes that inhumane duty shifts of 36 hours at a stretch endanger not only PG students but also patients’ lives. Prolonged and illegal duty hours often push PG students toward mental depression, dropping out, and even suicide. We request the Maharashtra government to declare non-compliance with this order as a criminal offense and take action against concerned Heads of Departments under Section 146 of the BNS. Additionally, strict action for fraud should be taken under Sections 337, 340, and 344 of the BNS against those department heads who fail to maintain accurate records of PG students’ working hours. UDF hopes that other states will follow Maharashtra’s example and immediately implement these norms to make medical education more humane and of higher quality. We also thank @DainikBhaskar for prominently highlighting this issue. @Devendra_Office @ANI @PTI_News @htTweets @aajtak @ndtv @drlakshyamittal @Shalini_Journo @ravish_journo @fpjindia @cnnbrk @republic @PMOIndia महाराष्ट्र बना पहला राज्य - सप्ताह में 48 घंटे से ज्यादा न लगाएं रेजिडेंट डॉक्टरों की ड्यूटी, 300 डॉक्टरों ने छोड़ी सीट- 25 ने दी जान bhaskarhindi.com/city/nashik/ma…
