MEMORANDUM BY DOCTORS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN KARNATAKA
TO :
THE HON’BLE PRESIDENT OF INDIA
THE HON’BLE GOVERNOR OF KARNATAKA
THE CHIEF ELECTION COMMISSIONER, ECI, NEW DELHI
The Karnataka Government, under the Chief Ministership of Mr Siddaramaiah and the Health Minister of Karnataka, have been contemplating the passing of the KPME Act (amended), which criminalizes the Noble Profession of Medicine. In this aspect, we would like to highlight that no person can be discriminated, in this case as patients, as to being treated differently under Private and Public Health Care Systems. Hence this appeal through this Memorandum, to avoid any future rifts between the Public in general, as patients, and Doctors in the private medical health care set-ups. The bill, highlights the following, amongst others, which may be brought to the notice of your Esteemed Authorities, as necessitated:
(1) No discrimination be done to ‘Patients’ treatment – Public or Private
(2) No NEW CRIME be legitimized in the garb of an ‘ACT’ – i.e., KPME Act (amended)
(3) CRIME is being ‘CREATED’ under the present Government, which hitherto was not
existing. This needs to be curbed and this can be achieved by presenting a Memorandum to the Hon’ble Governor of Karnataka, the Hon’ble President of India and to the Chief Election Commissioner:
(4) To declare the Congress Government in Karnataka as an illegal organization for utilizing the State Machinery to create a NEW CRIME against private set-up Doctors and Private Health Care Establishments
(5) To derecognize Congress as a party, from the Center, since the Karnataka State Legislative members are agents of the Principal (All India Congress) and any act of the Agent shall be construed to be that of the Principal and hence De-recognition of Congress party.
(6) Not to allow Congress (specially Karnataka Assembly) to contest in the ensuing elections
(7) To reimburse all losses that Doctors have incurred till date, due to the threat of implementation of the KPME Act and KPME Act (as amended)
(8) All Congress party members in Karnataka, including their relatives and agents or persons acting on behalf of them, should not be allowed to jump to any party for purposes of election, in the next 10 years
(9) Since Private Sector in the health care contributes significantly to the State exchequer, causing revenue loss on account of introducing a new CRIME against private doctors and medical establishments, through an illegal & unwarranted legislation, shall be treated as a crime against the State, by those agreeing and passing the KPME Act as amended.
(10) Causing terror in the minds of young students, who wish to take up the profession of medicine due to the enactment of KPME Act as amended and simultaneously not providing enough posts in the public health care sector, there by depriving many students and aspiring medical students, to refrain from providing future medical care to the society, which has a disastrous effect on the health of the society, in general and ultimately ruins the health of the general public.
Please consider the above and ensure a health life to all citizens of Karnataka, through participation of both Private and Public Health Care Institutions, aimed at a Healthy Karnataka. Hope our voices are heard in this great democratic nation,
