KARNAL ; 11 DECEMBER I A State council meeting of IMA Haryana was held at Karnal on 10th Dec.
It was chaired by State President Dr AP Setia.
Presidents and Secretaries of all local branches were present.
It was informed that the Health Minister Sh Anil Vij has been saying now that Govt shall implement central Clinical establishment act.
However till recently HM and ACS to health Ministry had declared that a modified CEA has been drafted and shall be implemented in Haryana.
Health Department of Haryana on behalf of Govt and IMA had been discussing the Haryana CEA for the last one year and out 80 amendments suggested by IMA more than 40 were accepted by Govt.
Even Principal Secretary had been involved in the discussion on behalf of Chief Minister.
Dr Setia the State IMA President explained in detail the differences between central act and the amended Haryana act.
The central act is much more harsh and draconian.
It is anti people and anti doctor.
If central act is implemented then almost all the small healthcare units shall be on the verge of closure.
The treatment cost shall increase heavily.
The paramedics shall become unemployed.
There shall be inspector raj and license raj.
Opinions of all the branches present were taken.
Everyone was of the opinion that CEA should not be implemented. Some said that if it is to be implemented then the diluted CEA,which has been drafted after negotiations between Govt nd IMA, should be implemented.
Now as the Govt has suddenly taken a U turn on its own promise, all the members were agitated. Everyone is feeling cheated.
A decision of total shut down in whole of Haryana on 15th December has been taken and All members have been asked to be prepared for an indefinite shut down.
This is a do or die situation.
