Please find an evasive, useless response from AIIMS Delhi. Only one information provided out of 15 sought.

Anyway please learn that AIIMS follows duty hours as per residency scheme guidelines 1992 which stipulated 48 hours work week, maximum 12 hours in a day and a week off.

Long & illegal duty hours of resident doctors puts patient care at risk. Poor patient’s health care shall be our top priority and we shall not compromise on it due to pressure from law breaking seniors or HoD.

1. If any senior PG forces you to work in inhumane duty hours that puts patients’ safety at risk please call UGC anti ragging help line 1800-180-5522.

2. If a toxic HoD  / consultant or any faculty forces you to work long illegal duty hours that puts patient care under risk, please complain at the police station, NMC and CPGRAM for the legitimate interests of patients and to ensure smooth patient care

[Swamidass @jsdass1978]

Dear junior resident doctors please have a look at the effect of food and sleep deprivation from two sources viz PGIMER response and a research paper

1) Bipolar disorder

2) Diabetes

3) Dyslipidaemia

4) Fatty liver

5) Heart problem

6) Obesity

7) Schizophrenia

8) Stroke

Missed things are reduction in sperm quality, erectile dysfunction and disturbed periods for females. So please be cautious. Please don’t let toxic squeezing HoD / consultant / senior PG to spoil your health irreversibly.  

Work on legal duty hours as per residency scheme 1992. Save your mental and physical health. HoD / consultant can't help you on above issues as they themselves have 80% of these issues. Please focus on your health

1) If a senior PG forces you to work, call UGC anti ragging line 1800-180-5522.

2) If toxic HoD forces you to work long illegal duty hours that puts patient care under risk, complain at the police station, NMC and CPGRAM.

3) No compromise in quality patient’s care even though the HoD & Dean forces and blackmails using internal marks & thesis.

4) A sleep deprived, food deprived & overworked doctor can’t serve legitimate interest of patients

5) Our patients need healthy doctors. Let’s not betray their trust and let them down due to prejudiced, toxic people in the system.

Extreme human right violation in the form of inhumane duty hours at AIIMS Nagpur Paediatrics

Dear parents please be aware of cruel reality that is confessed on record. On record mein itna cruel hai tho off paper mein hamara bachon ko kya hoga?

Residency scheme issued by Ministry of health & family welfare in 1992 caps 48 hours a week for a junior resident which is 192 hours a month whereas law violators forces at AIIMS Nagpur squeezes our children 540 hours a month with 15 times 24 hours duties

No shame!!!! No fear!!!!No guilt!!!! No humanity at all!
Where are the regulating bodies and human rights commissions?

Do people at AIIMS Nagpur have special powers to break government norms and crush our young children for 24 hours cruelly multiple times??

I kindly request doctor associations, freelancers, human right organizations, any responsible citizen to take this matter very seriously and do something to save our children from deaths and quitting

Now the same AIIMS tell duty rosters contains personal information of residents. So it can’t be disclosed.
Last year the duty roster of AIIMS Nagpur was public document and I have it. This year it has become a private document

What kind of personal information of residents a duty roster can have except name? Contact Number, E-mail Id, blood group or address? Nothing. Nothing

This is just a lame excuse to deny information. Also 98% duty rosters across India do not have any duty timings. They have only resident’s name and posting location

1) If a senior PG forces you to work, call UGC anti ragging line 1800-180-5522.

2) If toxic HoD forces you to work long illegal duty hours that puts patient care under risk, complain at the police station, NMC and CPGRAM.

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

62% of Indian resident doctors work more than 36 hours at a stretch. 86% report severe sleep deprivation. 97% earn less than an entry level civil servant. 76% are assaulted while on duty.

We can call ourselves civilised only when we learn to treat our doctors like they treat us.

[UNITED DOCTORS FRONT (UDF) @UDF_BHARAT]

Heartfelt thanks to journalist @srmishra319 & @mumbaimirror for this hard-hitting front-page coverage exposing the brutal reality faced by #ResidentDoctors — 100+ hour weeks, 25+ suicides & 300+ resignations in just 5 years.

Maharashtra Govt’s directive to strictly enforce the 48-hour workweek is a critical & long-overdue step — exactly what @UDF_BHARAT has been demanding.

Now the real test is strict implementation, monitoring & action against violations. Doctors are not machines!

Till now, It was Delhi making headlines for all the wrong reasons;
Now the same pattern is emerging in other states too.

What’s even more disappointing is the mindset behind it ...
utterly shameless and degrading.

AFMC Pune — one of India’s “finest” medical colleges — and this is what’s happening behind those gates?

92-hour shifts.
No sleep. No food. No dignity.
Residents choosing between eating, bathing, or surviving.

And seniors call this a “rite of passage”?
No. This is systemic abuse dressed up as training.

Sleep deprivation isn’t discipline — it’s cognitive impairment. You’re not building doctors, you’re breaking them.

@DGAFMS @MoHFW_INDIA @NMC_IND — how long will you stay silent?

@Ausbones Point and shoot- parasympathetic and sympathetic respectively

[UNITED DOCTORS FRONT (UDF) @UDF_BHARAT]

Thanks to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Sh @Dev_Fadnavis Ji.
Govt of @CMOMaharashtra has issued an order directing all medical colleges in the state to adhere to the @MoHFW_INDIA’ 1992 Residency Scheme, limiting duty hours to a maximum of 48 hours per week and no more than 12 hours at a stretch.
By doing so, Maharashtra has become the first state where the central government’s 1992 directive has been implemented after 34 years.

@UDF_BHARAT has been demanding compliance with this for a long time.
Last year, following our request, the Union Health Ministry convened a high-level meeting in Delhi on April 22, where UDF was also given an opportunity to present its views. Despite this, no concrete steps were taken by the central government.
However, the Maharashtra government has now implemented it, bringing hope to PG students.

UDF believes that inhumane duty shifts of 36 hours at a stretch endanger not only PG students but also patients’ lives. Prolonged and illegal duty hours often push PG students toward mental depression, dropping out, and even suicide.

We request the Maharashtra government to declare non-compliance with this order as a criminal offense and take action against concerned Heads of Departments under Section 146 of the BNS.
Additionally, strict action for fraud should be taken under Sections 337, 340, and 344 of the BNS against those department heads who fail to maintain accurate records of PG students’ working hours.

UDF hopes that other states will follow Maharashtra’s example and immediately implement these norms to make medical education more humane and of higher quality.

We also thank @DainikBhaskar for prominently highlighting this issue.

#SUICIDE
A first-year PG PEDIA resident at VIMSAR #ODISHA allegedly attempted suicide after consuming ~30 tablets. She was rescued in time and is currently stable after ICU care and dialysis.

Disturbingly, she had allegedly raised concerns earlier also, only to be ignored by the department.

Can the @NMC_BHARAT take action by considering this under ragging or torture?

दैनिक भास्कर को इस साहसिक पत्रकारिता के लिए धन्यवाद! सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश पर स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय, भारत सरकार ने 05.06.1992 को रेजीडेंसी स्कीम लागू की थी। आज भी देश भर में यही नियम लागू है। लेकिन इसे छुपाकर मनमाने तरीके से लंबी अवैध ड्यूटी लगाई जाती है।
@UDF_BHARAT ने पिछले साल @MoHFW_INDIA को इस पर पत्र लिखा। तब 22 अप्रैल 2025 को दिल्ली में @DghsIndia हेल्थ मिनिस्ट्री के अधिकारियों ने मीटिंग की। हमें भी बुलाया।
उसमें 1992 रेजीडेंसी स्कीम को सख्ती से लागू करने पर बात हुई। लेकिन अब तक कोई ठोस नतीजा नहीं दिखना चिंताजनक है।
हमारे पास काफी स्टूडेंट्स और पैरेंट्स के मैसेज आ रहे हैं। लंबी, अवैध ड्यूटी से परेशान बच्चे सुसाइड कर रहे हैं, मुश्किल से मिली सीट छोड़ रहे हैं, मानसिक अवसाद का शिकार हो रहे हैं।

यूडीएफ का अनुरोध है कि दैनिक भास्कर तथा सभी मीडिया इस पर एक अभियान चलाए। हमें नया कुछ नहीं चाहिए।
बस, देश के कानून का पालन हो। रेजीडेंसी स्कीम 1992 के तहत ड्यूटी लगाई जाए।

इसका पालन नहीं होने पर संबंधित HoD के खिलाफ BNS की धारा 146 के तहत कार्रवाई हो। अगर ड्यूटी डेटा में फर्जीवाड़ा हो, तो BNS की धारा 337 और 340 के तहत कार्रवाई हो।

1992 से अब तक 34 साल में हजारों मेडिकल स्टूडेंट्स सुसाइड, सीट छोड़ने और डिप्रेशन का शिकार हो चुके हैं।
यह सिलसिला अब बंद हो। मेडिकल स्टूडेंट्स खुद बीमार, थके मांदे होंगे, तो मरीजों के इलाज पर भी बुरा असर होगा।

@DainikBhaskar तथा सभी मीडिया से एक और अनुरोध।
@UDF_BHARAT की मदद से कुछ मेडिकल स्टूडेंट्स देश के विभिन्न मेडिकल कॉलेजों में अपना हक मांग कर हासिल भी कर रहे हैं। यह 'व्हिसिल ब्लोवर' हैं।
इन्हें संस्थान द्वारा प्रताड़ना का शिकार न बनाया जाए, यह सुनिश्चित करने में मीडिया अपनी सकारात्मक भूमिका निभाए।

At Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research — a PG doctor lands in ICU after allegedly consuming 30 tablets of Phenobarbitone.

Let that sink in.

This is not “stress.”
This is systemic harassment.

A suicide note pointing towards mental torture, repeated pressure, and alleged mistreatment — and yet we keep pretending everything is fine inside these institutions.

How many more residents have to break before accountability begins?

Hospitals that are supposed to heal are turning into pressure cookers destroying their own doctors.

🚨 Immediate, independent investigation needed
🚨 Protection for residents who speak up
🚨 Zero tolerance for toxic hierarchy

Silence is complicity. Enough is enough.

[Dr.Dhruv Chauhan @DrDhruvchauhan]

I am sorry to say sir but this is absolutely of NO USE !
You know why ? Because there is literally Zero follow-up from NMC of what happens to the case after the complaint is received !

Here is what happens : the colleges responds via mail / letter whatever fits their agenda and NMC instead of cross checking and investigating the complaint on ground shows that issue has been resolved which in reality is never resolved !

The complaint hence remains a complaint forever !

NMC is well aware about it !

[Indian Doctor🇮🇳 @Indian__doctor]

Doctors are being broken in the name of “training.”
36-hour shifts, chronic sleep deprivation, relentless pressure
and yet, an expectation of flawless performance.

Let’s call it what it is: this is not training, it is institutionalized exploitation.

What was once a necessity in an era of limited resources has now been turned into a rigid, compulsory system.
Back then, doctors spent more time in hospitals out of necessity and willingness to learn.

Today, resources and learning tools have expanded but the same inhumane workload persists.

The truth is uncomfortable:
An outdated system has normalized overwork for its own convenience, while junior doctors pay the price with their health, their mental well-being, and sometimes, their lives.

Training should build competence, not destroy the individual.
Overtime must be a choice not an obligation.

This is no longer just about reform, it’s about accountability.
★ Safe and regulated working hours
★ Mandatory rest periods
★ Mental health protection
★Zero tolerance for workplace abuse
