Both the officials in a joint letter have also urged doctors to exercise their franchise along with family members and colleagues in Lok Sabha elections.
“It is a noble time of discharging responsibility. So, vote for himself and encourage other people also to participate in large numbers in it. Go beyond party and caste line and vote such a candidate who keeps positive attitude towards medicos interest, thinks for social welfare and has a mission of improved health services,” said the IMA.
In 24 years of Jharkhand, this is the first time the IMA state body has appealed to its members to participate with family members in elections and encouraging voters with concession offers in any election.
