Junior doctors of PMCH, the largest government hospital in the state, have gone on strike. On Thursday (December 04, 2025), OPD and emergency services came to a standstill. The patients and their families who came for treatment had to return. The reason for the strike is the fight between family members and junior doctors last Wednesday (December 03, 2025) morning.

On Wednesday, an elderly patient Suresh Singh died of brain hemorrhage. After this, an argument started between the relatives of the deceased and the junior doctors, which soon turned into a fight. Family members allege that the junior doctor assaulted them and even held them hostage for some time. After the incident, there was an atmosphere of chaos in the hospital premises.

A complaint has been lodged by both the parties at Pirbahore police station. The patient’s family accused him of negligence in treatment. On the other hand, junior doctors have demanded security.

What do family members say?

Aman, son of the deceased Suresh Singh, had said on Wednesday after the incident, “Father had brain hemorrhage. He was admitted three days ago. Today his condition worsened. ECG was checked. After this, my sister just said that his (father’s) body is warm, please check once because the body gets cold after death. Then objectionable words were spoken to the sister by the doctor. The sister said how can one talk like this. We were also there. The doctor pushed the sister. This is the video. One lakh rupees were snatched in the fight.

Let us tell you that every day there are reports of fighting between family members and doctors in PMCH. It is surprising that till date no such system has been made here as to how to stop it. Even the health department remains silent. No concrete steps are taken even by the PMCH administration. Many times the guards have also beaten the family members of the patients here.
