Assigning 36 hours duty continuosly to the medical PG students by the government hospital
Sir
My daughter recently joined first year post graduate medical course (MS Gynacology) in the Government Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai. She joined in this course after clearing the NEET examination 2019. Now the problem what she is facing is that she has been assigned duty in the wards continuously 36 hours or some times more than 36 hours. For example if she goes to the hospital on Monday morning at 7.00 am, she will be attending the duty from monday morning 7.00 am to next day (Tuesday) evening 7.00 pm. whenever students are attending the night duty they have not been given off on the next day. No rest for them. How a person can perform 36 hrs duty continuously without sleep,without taking rest. Tuesday night she will take rest and again the duty starts on wednesday morning 7.00 AM and goes up to thursday evening 7.00 pm. This is the duty cycle for them. No holiday for sundays. In between a week also no holiday given.
My question here is,
1) is it not a violation of human rights?
2) if a person attends night duty, is he not eligible to take off on the next day ?
3) whether can i file a case on behalf of my daughter in the honble court for remedy?
4) (or) can i file a public interest litigation in the honble court?.
5) If i file, whether any possibility for me to win the case?
