A single-judge bench of the Bombay High Court, headed by Justice Arif Doctor, also directed Dr. Asiya to refrain from publishing further allegedly defamatory material concerning the hospital on social media while the matter is pending.
The hospital said that Dr. Asiya’s posts on social media were false. According to the hospital, allegedly she made serious allegations of harassment and mental torture against doctors of the hospital through her social media.
Through her posts, Dr. Asiya alleged Saifee Hospital for overworking its Trainee doctors, not giving them any weekly offs, ragging and mistreatment of the doctors in the institution. She also tagged Mumbai Police and a few other upper authorities.
The trust said that Dr. Asiya made false allegations so that the hospital could surrender to her personal demands.
What is your view on the working conditions faced by trainee doctors in hospitals?
No. This is the wrong action taken by Dr. Asiya’s. Just to fulfil her personal demands , she can not play with; Law and Rules. These are made to help who are genuinely in trouble; not to take advantages.
Regardless of the allegations in this particular case, it raises more question about working conditions for trainee doctors. Cases like this highlights the need for clear grievance mechanisms within hospitals.
