Disapproves attempts to implicate two DMCH faculty members

Ludhiana: 17 October 2014: (Punjab Screen Bureau):

IMA Punjab condoles the sad and irreparable loss of a young and promising post graduate medical student, Dr Supriya recently in an unfortunate incident of suicide.  IMA Punjab expresses its full sympathy to the bereaved family and offers its heartfelt condolences to the parents of Dr Supriya.

it must be taken as a awake up call by the concerned authorities in the medical teaching institutions to decrease the stress levels of the medical students. Regular psychological counseling and stress management should be made a compulsory part of the teaching programs to prevent such unfortunate incidents.

However IMA Punjab disapproves of the attempts being made to implicate two faculty members of the DMC & H Ludhiana in the case and to give a cattiest angle to this unfortunate episode.IMA Pb is of the view that fair enquiry be held at the earliest to clear the confusion. IMA also feels that it should not become a mud-slinging contest against respective medical faculty until anything adverse is established in a high level probe.

IMA Punjab further deplores the media trial of the faculty members of the DMC &H Ludhiana and appeals for calm and balanced approach to the whole matter.  Who so ever is found guilty should be punished after a fair and thorough enquiry but it should be ensured that public and media pressure should not influence the trial. We pray that truth prevails.
