Meeting on June 11 to address docs' demands

Jaipur: Senior health official Prithvi Raj said the strike had no impact on healthcare as back-up plans worked well.
The health department deployed 550 medical officers in hospitals attached to the medical colleges to deal with the crisis. It directed district collectors to take help from private hospitals.
The vice president of 20-point programme and former health minister Dr Digambar Singh played an instrumental role in breaking the deadlock.
"Health minister Rajendra Rathore had appealed to the resident doctors to resume work unconditionally. Today, the resident doctors have decided to join the service without any such condition. Now, a meeting will be organised on June 11 to address their demands," Digambar Singh said. He also pointed out that there was a communication gap, which had been filled.
