Who is answerable for "maximum work hours of a doctor in India"
I had raised a RTI to MOHFW asking
1) maximum permissible work hours per week for a doctor in India
2) Maximum permissible work hours at a stretch ( in a single shift ) in an emergency ward , for a doctor employed within India
3) will the employer / hospital authority held legally responsible for "making / scheduling a doctor employee to work more than the maximum upper limit of work hours in a single shift / week"
MOHFW rejected my RTI stating "health being a STATE matter I should approach individual states in India for the answer".
My question is "on behalf of a working / employed doctor in a govt / private hospital within India .
My question is not on behalf of a junior resident doctor undergoing a post grad course in govt hospitals of India.
Whom should I approach now , if I want to know the maximum permissible working hours for a doctor employed in West Bengal , India.
Shall I approach West Bengal university of health sciences?
Will they be answerable for an "non academic employed doctor " ?
Kindly guide .
