The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday demanded that the North Delhi Municipal Corporation immediately pay the pending salaries of doctors of Hindu Rao Hospital. In a statement titled ‘Banana Republic’, the IMA said healthcare workers, especially doctors, are a national asset and their “humiliation by denying” legitimate salaries was nothing but “state-sponsored violence”. “The IMA takes serious exception to the unfortunate situation in Hindu Rao Hospital which is under the management of Delhi Municipal Corporation. The IMA further said that the Supreme Court had specifically directed that salaries of doctors and healthcare workers should be paid in time. The IMA demands that the authorities should pay the salaries of the doctors along with the dues immediately,” it said.
