In protest, no outpatients today in 400 hospitals of Bengaluru

Hospitals of Bengaluru will remain closed for Outpatients after the State Government canceled leave for medical staffs. Outpatient services at private hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers and super specialty will not be functioning today.

Emergency services like ambulances, labor rooms and trauma care centers will function normally. The early determined surgeries were postponed to another date.

State Health Commissioner has canceled the leave of all government doctors, medical and paramedical staff on Friday and asked everyone to report to work at the Primary Health Centres, taluk hospitals, and district hospitals.

This is in anticipation of the increased patient load.

Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Association in its emergency general meeting decided that all its 400 member hospitals will participate in the strike. There are around 45,000 medical establishments. Ambulances and in-patient services won’t be affected though.
