Following the rally, in which many doctors participated, a gathering of doctors from private hospitals was also convened at the JMA auditorium. In a meeting with the protesters, the Rajasthan Pradesh Chemist Association’s officers pledged their support for the movement. In addition to this, other professional and social organisations published letters of support. At six in the morning, Amar Jawan Jyoti planned a candle march in which many people took part.
According to Dr. Vijay Kapoor, secretary of the Private Hospital and Nursing Home Society (PHNHS), this regulation will harm the general population more than it will hurt physicians and hospitals. The largest causes of death, such as heart attack and septicemia, are not covered in the bill’s definition of emergency, which only includes snake bite, animal attack, and road accident.
