The State government should also provide the steps taken to protect them, said the bench.
A total number of 436 cases are registered across the state. But, the state failed to provide the information of the guidelines taken to prevent it.
The bench said,”This is so shocking, the one-page affidavit that has been filed. From the next time, we are not going to accept affidavits unless vetted by the government pleader. The only word we can use is pathetic. This is absolute callous. The state is not at all serious about protecting its doctors. Yet, the public expects doctors to give their all”. The bench has instructed the deputy secretary of the state health department, to file a subsidiary affidavit by the coming week. The bench also added that the affidavit should necessarily include the state’s response on how to handle such incidents and to protect the doctors and the medical staff.

]]>While their demands don’t include conducting surgeries, they just want to work as frontline workers. The executive director of NBE, Pawanindra Lal has issued a statement saying, “They are not accustomed to Indian Healthcare problems at all. “
India is the worst-hit nation and soon there might be excessive shortage of frontline workers and it is a complete possibility that we might see patients dying in the ICU since there were no doctors or nurses to look after them. Frontline workers are already overworked right now and it looks like their situation is only going to get worse.
Despite their degrees being recognized by the World Health Organization, they are being made to sit idly.

]]>Let me tell you that on November 20, Anil Vij had done the first dose of Corona’s vaccine ‘Kovaxin’. On December 5, he tweeted that he had become corona positive even after taking the vaccine. After this, the Health Ministry had to be clarified in this matter. Anil Vij was given a dose of ‘Kovaxin’ being developed by Bharat Biotech and ICMR.
Later Anil Vij himself said that the doctors had already told him that the corona vaccine starts working about 14 days after taking the second dose. The second dose of the vaccine is applied 28 days after the first dose. After 14 days, antibodies develop in the body. Only then can you get protection from the corona. That is, this whole process takes 42 to 45 days. There is no protection from the vaccine in the middle.
Vij was admitted in PGI Rohtak
This is the reason why Anil Vij became Corona positive on 5 December after taking the Corona vaccine on 20 November. Anil Vij said that even after taking the vaccine, he was taking precaution, despite this he was hit by the corona. Before being sent to Medanta, Haryana Home and Health Minister Anil Vij was admitted to PGI Rohtak. He was shifted to PGI Rohtak on 12 December.
Vij offered to become the first volunteer in the clinical trial phase 2 for the indigenous potential vaccine ‘Kovaxin’ against COVID-19 being developed by Bharat Biotech in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
JJP leaders met on 4 December

If the doctors quit the job in the middle, they will have to pay a fine of Rs one crore. The government says that in addition to this, a system of waiver of NEET has been made so that the shortage of specialist doctors in government hospitals can be made.
This new rule issued by the government states that no objection certificate (NOC) will be issued by the department in this regard. It is important to note that if the MBS doctors are given a discount of 10 marks in NEET entrance examination, if they work for one year in a government hospital in rural areas.
