An IMA study has revealed that one-third of its respondent doctors, majority of them being women, felt “unsafe” or “very unsafe” during their night shifts, so much so that some even felt the need to start carrying weapons for self-defence.
A duty room was not available to 45 per cent of respondents during night shifts, found the online survey undertaken by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to evaluate safety concerns during night shifts among doctors in the backdrop of recent alleged rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
