According to him, cleanliness can be the single mosteffective health promotion measure. Uncleansurroundings and environment as a whole candeliver us a plethora of health problems like foodborne infections, toxic chemicals related illnesses,allergic conditions, etc. He requested all its membersthat IMA should be at the forefront of thegovernment’s campaign for a clean India asprevention is the best cure. He requested the Houseto observe 21st June, every year, as InternationalYoga Day as Yoga is the perfect way of life to ensurethe physical, mental, and spiritual wellness of aperson.
He desired that IMA offices including the HQs, stateand local offices work together as hubs of moderntechnology. The offices should be well equipped tocreate an electronic directory of members which isregularly updated and should have the facilities tocommunicate with its members through SMS alerts,emails, face book pages, tweets, postal letters andtelephonic conversations.
He informed the Members that multitude ofactivities going on under the auspices of IMA throughour various agencies but it is seen that most of themare yet to reach their full potential. Our wings likethe young doctor’s wing and IMA medicos wing,initiatives such as HBINABH initiative and safe soundinitiative, programs like infant mortality preventionand save the girl child program and schemes likeNSSS, pension scheme and health scheme all providemultiple avenues for our members to participateaccording to their areas of interest. The efficientworking of each of our suborganizations is pivotalto effective delivery of output from them. I wish topromote all these activities to their full potential.
He informed the House about the postponement of“IMA satyagraha”, due to government acceptance ofour demands from November 16, 2015, hasemboldened us in advocating for our rights withmuch more authority. These 5 key points includingthe central hospital protection act, amendment ofPC PNDT and CE act, capping of compensation inconsumer forums, increasing budgetary allocationfor health to 5% of GDP and prohibition ofprescription drugs from being written by non MBBSdoctors stay very much alive for a future protest ifno substantial action is taken by the government.

Sit-in-demonstration in front of the House ofDr.B.C. Roy on 29th September, 2016 with a demandbefore Govt. of India to rationalize IPC 354
Renowned Chest Physician of national repute, Prof.Dhiman Ganguly (72 years old) was arrested on 14th
September, 2016 based on a complaint of (?)Outraging the modesty lodged by one of his femalepatients and his bail was rejected by Hon’ble SealdahCourt and deferred by the Hon’ble High Court lateron and finally he got bail on 27th September, 2016.This situation has made entire Doctor communityshocked.
I would like to draw your kind attention to undermentioned points:1. It is a pan India Problem as Doctors across the
country are really feeling insecured as anyonecan face this type of situation at any point oftime.
2. Medical profession is the noblest profession ofthe World and this is the only profession wheremembers take Hypocritic Oath after passingMBBS that they will treat patients even at thecost of their own interests and during our trainingit is taught that to diagnose a disease clinically 4steps are required: Inspection Palpation Percussion Auscultation
And for the three out of these four, Doctor needsto touch the body of the patient.
3. Moreover, for the investigation procedures,Doctor must touch the body and sometimepatient needs to be undressed partly with priorunderstanding.
4. It is being taught that female patient mustbe examined in presence of a female attendantbut now there is a big question regarding thecriteria of a female attendant, because patientparties are not being considered as femaleattendant (as in the case of Dr. Dhiman Ganguly).Any female staff of Government or Private Sectormight not be considered as female attendant, ifshe is not a trained one with having basicknowledge regarding human body and moreoverit is just not possible to see every female patientin presence of a trained female attendant inPrivate or Government sector in our country.Moreover, it might be opined that attendant ofa private or Govt. Sector will save the Doctor oftheir own sector.
5. Unfortunately, in today’s juncture despiterendering their selfless best possible services,Doctors are becoming extremely vulnerable assimply a complaint lodged by female patient isbeing noticed to be sufficient enough to put theDoctor behind the bar without going through theprocess of investigation or enquiry.So, the Doctors are really confused throughoutthe country and they just want to know how toexamine a patient of opposite sex.
6. As you know, long years back Doctors usedto be arrested if there was any complaint ofMedical Negligence without any investigationunder section 304, IMA fought against it toothand nail across the country & finally Hon’bleSupreme Court has given a verdict in the year2005 that Doctors cannot be arrestedimmediately if there is a complain of Medical
27
216th IMA Central Working Committee Meeting, November 12-13, 2016, Chennai, Tamil Nadu
Negligence and it should be sent to an expertgroup first and based on the expert opinion,judgement is to be given.But as in the case of 354 (A,B.C.D) there is nosuch provision. Doctors may be arrestedimmediately, if there is any complaint lodgedby any female patient.
7. We believe, if this Pan India problem is notsolved immediately, it wi ll worsen DoctorPatient Relationship.
So, our appeal before the Hon’ble Supreme Court,Lawmakers and the Central Government that likein the case of Section 304, a provision of sending thecase to an Expert Committee after receiving acomplaint should be there in case of section 354 aswell, and Doctors must not be arrested instantlybased on any complaint lodged by any patientregarding the process of examination, investigationor treatment.
We sent letters with documents to IMA HQs., ThePresident of India, The Governer of West Bengal, The
Chief Minister of West Bengal, Union Minister of Lawand Justice; Union Minister of Health & FamilyWelfare; The Principal Secretary, Department ofHealth & Family Welfare, Govt. of India, The PrincipalSecretary, Department of Health & Family Welfare,Govt. of West Bengal

He further stated that modern medicine health careinstitutions form 60% of all Heath Care institutionsin India out of which 90% are single doctorestablishments discussed most important 12 clausesin CEA on which we have to fight and also highlightedthree separate and different ways (eithernegotiation / legal / agitation) to fight on eachclause.
Interactive Session:-
Dr.A. Marthanda Pillai was in the chair andDr.K.K.Aggarwal and Dr.R.V.Asokan were thepanelists. Dr. A. Marthanda Pillai opened the sessionfor discussion. He stated that : IMA is not againstupgrading standards . NABH Pre Accreditation EntryLevel Standards are useful. Doctors, may not be goodadministrators That may be a reason for litigationsand attacks. NABH Pre Accreditation Entry LevelStandards are tailor made and hence flexible whileprovisions in CEA are uniform and hence rigid. Dr AMarthanda Pillai took strong exception to thepresence of police in the district advisorycommittee. He supported registration and notregulation. He was of the view that single doctorswere regulated by MCI. IMA certified clinics was oneoption. All standards treatment guidelines shouldbe left to the professional bodies. Dr.Ashok Adhao,Past National President, was of opinion that theauthorities will be sufferers of such laws. He saidthat we shall tell the media that CEA is coveringGovernment hospitals also. These hospitals shouldbe standardized and improved first. Dr.Jayesh Lelestated that the Dr.Taori Committee was formed toprepare the draft bill of Maharashtra specific CEA(MCEA) which has not been implemented in the stateyet. Following modifications have been made :
1.Police personnel will be removed from DistrictRegistering Authority.
2.Amount of penalties will be reduced.
3.Enquiries and appeals will be allowed.
4.Appellate Authority will have one IMArepresentative
5.Added patient responsibilities along with patientcharter.
6.Single doctor clinics will be registered but will notbe regulated.
7.If no inspection is done within 30 days, theregistration shall be deemed permanent?
8.Single window for all types of registrations andlicences has been suggested.
9.The stabilization clause has been retained.
Dr.A.Marthanda Pillai lamented that there was nopromotional clause in CEA. Dr.Krishna Parate,
Chairman National Professional Protection Scheme,stated that qualified staff and RMOs were notavailable.He opined that rates cannot be fixed forevery procedure. Dr.A.Marthanda Pillai raised thequestion that if the Government would be able toeliminate all the quacks if we agreed for the CEA?Dr.Ashraf stated that different states were havingdifferent rules.
Dr.Prakasam stated that agitation as a tool shouldbe used only after soft options like signaturecampaign and dharna are exhausted . He stated that
1.Regulation of clinical establishments andprevention of quackery were the benefits of CEA
2.Single doctor establishments are exempted in TN
3.IMA in inspection committee
4.There is punishment for quackery. Therefore,physiotherapist had to work under supervision of adoctor.
5. Display of rates was not acceptable.
Dr.Jayalal argued that if single doctor clinics areexempted from CEA, it will be boon for quacks.Fixation of fees with consultation of IMA isbeneficial. Nowadays, insurance companies arealready fixing fees of doctors. Protocols are far lowerat present. Government can fix protocols throughspecialists. Dr.A.Marthanda Pillai intervened andstated that if Government fixed the protocols and ifsomeone did not follow, it will be a punishableoffence.
At this point, Dr.Ravi Wankhedkar raised two points..
1.We are not against protocols if they are not legallybinding.
2.If patient doesn’t pay Government fixed rates, whowill pay?
Dr.C.N.Raja stated that
1.In CEA we demand not to display of rates but inNABH we have to display the rates.
2.At least one qualified nurse should be there.
3Existing infrastructure shall not be demolished.
4. Protocols shall not be fixed by Government.
Dr.Jayakrishnan informed that draft of the act wasprepared six years back. Discussion with Governmentis going on. The draft has not been tabled yet. Weare opposing it in current format.
We have agreed on following points:
1.If the clinical establishment is accredited, thereshall be no inspection.
2.Stabilisation clause will be replaced by first aid
3.District Registration Authority will be replaced byState level authority.
39
216th IMA Central Working Committee Meeting, November 12-13, 2016, Chennai, Tamil Nadu
4. 5.Instead of fixing fees, mechanism to inform thepatient about facilities and charges will bedeveloped.
6.Government protocols will be replaced byinstitutional protocols.
7.There will be no public hearing.
8.Penalty clauses will be removed except for runninga clinical establishment without registration.
He further stated that :
1.There should be promotion clause in CEA.Government should also aid a hospital if it is doingsome special work like immunization.
2. Central CEA must be amended.
Dr.Babu Raveendran stated that break up of hospitalcharges should be provided to patients . Counselingof patients is a must. Protocols should not bemandatory. R.M.Os. in our hospitals are Ayurvedics.We have been misusing the autonomy. We shouldstart some mechanism of self regulation. We shouldbe patient friendly while solving our problems. Fixingof rates by Government is not acceptable. There isno need for three representative of AYUSH inNational Commission under CEA.
Dr.Akhilesh Varma from Chhattisgarh stated that inhis State act, there was no police personnel involved.All powers were with CMHO. Inspection is done byDoctors Committee. Once the minimum standardsare complied, licence is issued. Relaxation is givenregarding qualification of staff. Training of staff isdone by IMA. All rules were compulsory for a newestablishment. Rates are not fixed by theGovernment. There is a rule that clinicalestablishment must have arrangements so that adisabled person can come inside. Dr.Sharad Agrawalstated that in Chhattisgarh the relationship betweenIMA and Government was cordial.
Dr.D.D.Chaudhuri from Uttarakhand informed thatCEA was passed in 2010 in his state. He gave followingsuggestions :
1.Stabilisation clause shall be replaced by First Aid.
2.Fee structure should be reduced.
3.Existing establishments shall be maintained assuch.
4.Old staff shall be retained. Doctors shall certify thestaff and the district authority shall conduct an examand certify.
5.Only notifiable diseases shall be reported.
6.Unless the doctor is registered in his own council,they will not be registered under CEA
7.There shall be IMA representative in DRA.
8.There shall be IMA representative in inspectionteam.
9.Provisional certificate shall be valid for one year.
10.There shall be State Appellate Body
Dr.Parthiv Sanghvi State Secretary Maharashtrasuggested that if states can modify the act why notall the states come together and form an uniformact?. He further quoted that CEA will not abolishquackery but the quacks will have to pay more tosurvive. Dr.Ajay Gambhir informed that the CEA isnot implemented in Delhi. He stressed the need fordata. While implementing accreditation, localadaption is necessary like Chhattisgarh, Kerala,etc.In NHS, doctor is private but paramedic staff isprovided by the Government. Advocacy is veryimportant.Dr.V.K.Monga stated that there is DelhiNursing Home Act in Delhi. Delhi MedicalAssociation, Delhi Nursing Home Association andDelhi Government are working together.
Dr.D.R.Rai stated that
1.CEA was initially proposed in 2007. IMA pressed tostop the act. Parliamentary Committee rejected theCEA.
2.But, in 2010, Mr.Gulam Nabi Azad again broughtthe act. The Government should not dictateprotocols. Dr.Sanjay Jain informed that state wideprotest against CEA was organised in Uttar Pradeshon 30.07.2016. He informed further that Bihar HighCourt stayed CEA on following grounds.
1.Ground for implementation of the act is not yetset
2.There is not enough trained staff to meet theprovisions in the act.
3.According to survey by WHO, 24 lakh nurses arerequired in India. How can the Governmentimplement CEA?.
Dr.Sanjoy Banerjee from West Bengal informed thatin West Bengal, single doctor chambers are out ofpurview of CEA. We should prepare national moduleon CEA and meet state officials with that.Dr.R.D.Dubey opined that exemption of single doctorclinics from CEA is a trap. By the way of CEA, thesingle doctor clinics will be named as clinicalestablishments (which are exempted from CEA) andthe at later date the single doctor clinics will alsohave to follow the related rules (as they are clinicalestablishments now). Dr.R.D.Dubey stated thatsingle doctor clinic means consultation eithertogether or separate.
Dr.Jitubhai Patel stated that political will is necessaryto continue dialogue with Government. Dr.AlexFranklin opined that protocols cannot be accepted

216th IMA Central Working Committee Meeting, November 12-13, 2016, Chennai, Tamil Nadu
but guidelines are acceptable. Dr.Amit Goyal fromHaryana informed that CEA was brought 3 years backin Haryana, was supposed to be implemented fromJanuary 2016 but at present is in abeyance. Dr.NisarSheikh stated that we are governed by CEA, NHAand many other laws. The rules and regulations inthese various acts are contradictory to each other.NHA gives permission to start the hospital butMunicipal Corporation says it is illegal. There is acase of Ahmadnagar in High Court which may decideto close the clinical establishments or may ask todecide minimum standards. Logically, only one lawshould prevail. Dr. M. Abbas stated that fire lawscan’t be similar all over India. E.g. fire engines can’tenter lanes in Cuttack. All guidelines or protocols ifincluded in the act will become law. We will neverbe able to bring single window for all our licences /registrations. Dr.V.C. Velayudhan Pillai stated thatas an organisation we should know what is going onin different states. Quality assurance should havecome from IMA. IMA has to be proactive. Dr.VinodShaha stated that family physicians are extinct nowa days. No new general practitioners are coming.
Dr R V Asokan summed up the proceedings
1.WHO report on quacks shall be studied and asample survey of quacks vs qualified doctors shallbe carried out.
2.Health Care Costing Government should go forhealth care costing in Government hospitals and inprivate hospitals in a professional manner.
