The newly elected president of the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) will hold discussions with authorities on the recent suspension of resident doctors at St George’s Hospital during his first visit to the city this week.
Dr Pratik Debaje, a resident doctor at GMC Nagpur who was declared the new MARD president on Saturday, said, “We do not have a proper workforce. In this case, the hospital administration and the higher authorities should have taken responsibility for addressing the issue of manpower instead of unfairly treating resident doctors under pressure.”
