Respected Prime Minister,
A few days ago, Government of India announced the introduction of National Health Policy. However, this has only deteriorated the situation of the doctors. Since the past few days, we've been hearing about the vandalism of hospitals and the beating of doctors.

Doctors are considered to be the most enlightened category in any society. The economic and social growth of any country depends on the health of the people. But if these doctors are not safe, then how can our nation be healthy?

The Constitution gives them the fundamental right to protect the citizens of their country, but here, the doctors are beaten during work, the hospital property is damaged, and the most tragic part is that the mechanism to protect them are not just ignorant, but also negligent.
