IMA doctors protest in Peddapalli over attack on hospital following child’s death

Doctors demanded action after hospital attack by family of seven-months-old baby girl, who died from alleged overdose of medicine on Thursday.

In protest against the attack, private doctors took out a rally from IMA office to government hospital wherein doctors from different parts of the state took part by wearing black badges.

Participating in the protest, IMA state president Padala Kaliprasada Rao condemned the attack and said that it was uncivilized to chase the doctor by holding a knife.

It was not proper to try to kill a doctor, who protects the lives of the people, he opined. Demanding serious action against the accused, he wanted the state government to take steps to put an end to such incidents in the future.
