Imphal, June 13:
The Association of Healthcare Providers India (AHPI), Manipur chapter, has voiced serious concerns over a recent surge in violence and intimidation targeting healthcare providers and hospital staff in Manipur. The association stressed that patients and their relatives who are dissatisfied with hospital treatment should seek redress through appropriate hospital authorities rather than resorting to aggressive behavior.
In cases involving complications or fatalities during treatment, AHPI Manipur Chapter advised the public to pursue legal action against the healthcare providers or hospitals instead of engaging in acts of violence within hospital premises. They warned that ongoing violence could create an environment of fear among healthcare providers, diminishing their willingness to handle complex cases. This, they cautioned, might lead to a significant number of patients seeking medical treatment outside the state.
The AHPI Manipur Chapter has made an earnest appeal to the Government of Manipur and its law enforcement agencies to address the rising violence against healthcare providers. They also expressed hope that normalcy would return to the state as soon as possible.
