Doctors across several districts in Telangana staged protests at hospitals and medical colleges on Monday, February 12 against suspensions over rate bite incident at a hospital in Kamareddy.
A patient was bitten by rates in the ICU of the Government General Hospital (GGH) Kamareddy on Sunday.
The protest, organised by the Telangana Teaching Government Doctors Association (TTGDA), challenged the decision made by the Director of Medical Education (DME), Dr B Triveni, to suspend the medical personnel. The association argues that the responsibility for the incident lies with the sanitation staff, not the doctors.
