Day 10: Some more developments

Today we continued the highly successful parallel OPD at VS Hospital and it met with great success again. We will continue it in the coming days.

The National Medicos Organisation pledged it support to our movement and issued a press note regarding the same. To visit the NMO website, click here.

We also received an email from the Hon Health Minister stating the reason for their continued inability to meet our representatives. You can view the contents of that email in the post below.

Interns all over Gujarat have formed an association on the lines of GARD and will most probably join us in the strike from tomorrow.

The designs for the T-shirts and the logo have been finalized. The final products are awaited.

Meanwhile, a massive rally has been planned for Monday, starting from VS Hospital to Gandhi Ashram. Details will be made public later.

Lastly, wishing you all a very happy Friendship Day tomorrow! Our unity is our greatest strength. Keep it up!
