The strike will start at 6 AM on August 17 and end after 24 hours on morning of 18th of August. IMA Goa has expressed solidarity with the cause and will be participating in the nationwide strike. “All essential services will be maintained. Casualties will be manned. Routine OPDs will not function and elective surgeries will not be conducted. The withdrawal is across all the sectors wherever modern medicine doctors are providing service. IMA requires the sympathy of the nation with the just cause of its doctors,” states the release by IMA HQ.
