Nearly 7,000 resident doctors have called for an infringe strike across Maharashtra in protest against the state government's decision to conditionally register CCMP-qualified BHMS practitioners with the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC). The strike has severely disrupted outpatient services across Mumbai's major government hospitals on Wednesday. While emergency services, ICUs and surgeries continued, OPD attendance fell by nearly 50% at several hospitals, leaving hundreds of patients waiting for hours and many returning home without treatment.
