After making rounds of public hospitals in the city for three months, Mahesh Vainegara, 39, arrived at Holy Family Hospital, Bandra West, on Saturday, hoping to finally see a doctor and get answers for a condition he has been grappling with for some time. He was among many patients turned away as select private hospitals joined public hospitals across the city in closing their outpatient departments (OPDs) following the Indian Medical Association’s call for a nationwide strike. The strike came in the wake of a mob attack at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital during protests over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor there.
