In response to mounting pressure from medical students regarding allegations of a toxic work culture at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, significant changes have been made. Dean Kavita N Singh has confirmed the implementation of a new rota system, which mandates duty hours of 8 to 12 hours for residents, with weekly free time. This decision aims to alleviate the pressure on students and foster a healthier work environment.
The Secretary General of JUDA, Dr. Kuldeep Gupta, corroborated this update, indicating that in a college council meeting, the dean formalized the duty hours for PG students and ensured junior doctors receive weekly leave.
Earlier, a distressing situation emerged when five doctors from GMC Bhopal threatened mass suicide if authorities didn't address their grievances, citing a toxic work culture. Their demands included an end to relentless working hours, which could extend beyond 24 or even 36 hours, and the provision of regular leave.
The PG medics also lamented being compelled to work without sleep for extended periods and not receiving any respite, even on Sundays. Furthermore, they alleged being coerced to work despite illness, facing verbal abuse from seniors and consultants, and threats regarding their exams and diplomas.
Their concerns prompted them to reach out to the president of FAIMA, Dr. Rohan Krishnan, who swiftly formed a committee to address the issue. FAIMA engaged consultant psychiatrists and collaborated with the Junior Doctors’ Association of Madhya Pradesh and the Resident Doctors’ Association of GMC Bhopal.
Although the dean initially pledged a positive resolution, conflicts arose between the dean and medical college professors regarding the implementation of the 8 to 12-hour duty roster system. Dr. Rakesh Malviya, President of the Medical Teachers Association, likened the training of junior doctors to commando training, emphasizing its rigorous nature.
Despite these challenges, the recent decision to establish a structured duty roster system signals progress in addressing the concerns raised by the medical students and junior doctors at GMC Bhopal.
