Doctors at MGM Medical College in Indore are divided over a planned strike on October 22, with one faction backing a collective action and another rejecting it on patient‑care grounds.
The faculty of MGM Medical College in Indore is currently split over a proposed strike scheduled for October 22. The Medical Teachers Association has framed the action as a collective decision aimed at pressing pending demands related to the institution's functioning.
A separate group of doctors, however, has publicly refused to join the strike, arguing that patient welfare must remain the top priority and that a work stoppage would jeopardise ongoing treatments.
Both sides have reiterated their positions within the college, but no final resolution has been reached, leaving the college administration to monitor the situation closely as the date approaches.
The disagreement highlights the broader tension between professional advocacy and uninterrupted patient care in India's medical education sector.
