Doctors oppose NMC bill

Srikakulam: Doctors working in private hospitals are opposing the National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill. 

They staged agitation under the aegis of Indian Medical Association (IMA) here on Saturday. They closed allthe private hospitals by protesting against NMC Bill. 

Speaking on the occasion, IMA district secretary B Sairam, members K Srinivas and H Ramesh demanded amendments to NMC Bill. 

They asked to continue nominated members in the NMC and not to include the elected members. 

As a result, the  poor would not get medical facilities in future and entire medical field would be captured by the corporate managements, they warned.
