A section of doctors attached with different government healthcare facilities felt that the meeting was significant.
Miss Banerjee had several times met with protesting junior doctors attached with government medical colleges and hospitals at her Kalighat residence and state secretariat, Nabanna respectively to hear the medics’ grievances in connection with alleged inadequate infrastructure, including human resource strength, threat culture unleashed allegedly by a section of their colleagues and large scale corruption in state healthcare facilities.
“The proposed meeting titled ‘chikitsar opar naam seba’ is significant because there has been a sharp division in the medical fraternity since the R G Kar incident,” a senior medical teacher of a premier government medical college said.
On the other hand, some political analysts in the city felt that the impressive attendance of around a lakh people at the Sea Ashray medical camps, an initiative of Abhishek Banerjee, TMC national general secretary and MP, exposes inadequacies.
