NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday (29th Jan) directed hospitals, including AIIMS New Delhi, to regularise the period of absence of doctors who had participated in protests against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata. The decision came after a doctors’ association pointed out that while some hospitals had regularised the absence based on an earlier court order, others, including AIIMS Delhi, were treating it as leave.
The Delhi High Court ordered the Centre to release Rs 10 crores to AIIMS Delhi within three days for the treatment of children with rare diseases, emphasizing the importance of ongoing care. Failure to comply will necessitate the attendance of the Union Health Ministry’s Joint Secretary at the next hearing.
Today, On 18th July, K Kavitha, a 46-year-old BRS leader, was referred to AIIMS-Delhi from Tihar Jail due to health issues. She had been briefly hospitalized at Deendayal Upadhyay Hospital and is under judicial custody until July 22, facing charges related to a money laundering investigation. The Rouse Avenue Court requested a detailed medical report on her condition.
