Day 9: Going steady...



The day started off with parallel OPDs being run at both VS Hospital and LG Hospital. This was a resounding success with 245 patients being treated at VS Hospital alone. The parallel OPDs will continue to run tomorrow. A medical camp was organized at the Gandhi Ashram also.

In the Civil Hospital campus, we held a signature campaign in which everyone enthusiastically took part. Letters formats to be sent by our parents to the Hon Chief Minister and to the Dean of respective colleges were distributed. Another letter questioning the reason for focal disciplinary action was submitted to the college authorities with signatures of all residents.

Focal terminations and cancellation of registrations were carried out in various medical colleges across Gujarat in another futile attempt to break our unity.

Meanwhile, attempts to meet the authorities were again stonewalled today. A delegation of the Core Committee went to Gandhinagar to meet the Health Minister but were denied a meeting.

In a show of solidarity, all undergraduate students across Gujarat went on a token strike today. A meeting of all intern doctors across the state was called today to form a central association like GARD. They have decided to join us in the strike.

All the suggestions and ideas coming in are very welcome and we will try and implement as many as possible. Slogans for the T-shirts and designs for the logo have been coming in as well and you are free to send us suggestions for the same by email or in person. Keep up the good work!
