IMA Threatens Maharashtra Hospital Shutdown After Accused Doctor Attacker Gets Bail

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has warned of a hospital shutdown in Maharashtra following a court's decision to grant bail to a Shiv Sena corporator accused of assaulting medical staff.

The bail decision has triggered widespread concern about the safety of doctors and nurses in Maharashtra's public hospitals.
