It is the primary responsibility of the respective State \/ Union Territory (UT) Government to prescribe norms for fixing working hours for the doctors and other medical practitioners working in their hospitals. As such, no information in this regard is centrally maintained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">As far as three Central Government hospitals namely Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Safdarjung Hospital, Lady Harding Medical College &amp; Associated Hospitals and All India Medical Institute of Sciences, New Delhi are concerned, the working hours for doctors and other medical practitioners normally do not exceed 40 hours per week. However, the duty timing and working hours of doctors and medical practitioners are guided by exigencies of the work and factors, such as emergency duty, patient load, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, adequate residents\/doctors are available in these Central government hospitals to provide due care to the patient. As and when there is an increase in workload necessitating an increase in the number of doctors, new posts are created to ensure that required manpower is available to deliver the desired level of clinical care.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of State (Health and Family Welfare), Sh Ashwini Kumar Choubey stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">[Press Release dt. 16-07-2019]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ministry of Health and Family Welfare<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Government has constituted a Committee to examine various aspects of a uniform legislative framework to address issues of assault on clinical <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8808,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1188,2],"tags":[36662,36661],"class_list":["post-216973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hot_off_the_press","category-news","tag-protection-from-assault","tag-resident-doctors-bill"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bill on Protection of Resident doctors -- To address issues of assault | SCC Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2019\/07\/17\/bill-on-protection-of-resident-doctors-to-address-issues-of-assault\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bill on Protection of Resident doctors -- To address issues of assault\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Central Government has constituted a Committee to examine various aspects of a uniform legislative framework to address issues of assault on clinical\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2019\/07\/17\/bill-on-protection-of-resident-doctors-to-address-issues-of-assault\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SCC Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/scc.online\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-17T09:00:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-07-18T10:19:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Bhumika Indulia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Bhumika Indulia\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.scconline.com\\\/blog\\\/post\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/17\\\/bill-on-protection-of-resident-doctors-to-address-issues-of-assault\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.scconline.com\\\/blog\\\/post\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/17\\\/bill-on-protection-of-resident-doctors-to-address-issues-of-assault\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Bhumika Indulia\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.scconline.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/919ec47cc1b871b362af05740398033a\"},\"headline\":\"Bill on Protection of Resident doctors &#8212;
