Accident Sparks Online Counseling Demand

Following a road accident that left a doctor with a head injury, the Service Doctors and Post Graduates Association (SDPGA) has appealed to the Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine. The incident occurred when the doctor, who traveled to Chennai for a Primary Health Centre doctor transfer counseling session, was injured.

The SDPGA is strongly advocating for all transfer counseling sessions to be conducted online. They pointed out that this digital approach is already widely adopted by other health directorates, suggesting it as a safer alternative to in-person gatherings. The association's request aims to prevent similar accidents and prioritize the well-being of medical staff.
