Doctors’ strike paralyzes health services in private hospitals

NOIDA: Health services were paralyzed in private hospitals across Noida and Ghaziabad on Friday as their outpatient departments remained closed on Friday, following a one-day state-wide strike by doctors in demand for effective implementation of the Medical Protection Act in Uttar Pradesh.

The token strike was called by the UP chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) in the wake of recent attacks on private medical establishments and practitioners.
