Old Ties New Friends

Statement from Dr. Tarun Ohri, President of AIIMSonians of America

Dear AIIMSonians Community,

It is with profound sadness and deep concern that we address the recent surge in violence and harassment against our fellow doctors in India, particularly targeting our female colleagues. The tragic incident in Kolkata, where a young female doctor was brutally raped and murdered, has left us all shaken. This heinous act is not only a grievous violation of human rights but also an affront to the values that our profession stands for—compassion, care, and service to humanity.

AIIMSonians of America unequivocally condemns this horrific crime and stands in solidarity with the victim’s family during this unimaginably difficult time. We also extend our unwavering support to all healthcare professionals who have been affected by such violence. As part of our ongoing commitment to the well-being of our members and the global healthcare community, we are engaging in active discussions with stakeholders to advocate for meaningful reforms that will ensure the safety of all doctors. We recognize the courageous efforts of healthcare professionals in India who are striking and protesting to bring attention to these critical issues. While such actions may disrupt services temporarily, they are necessary steps towards creating a safer and more supportive environment for all healthcare workers.

We assure you that AIIMSonians of America will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates on any developments. Our collective strength lies in our unity, and together, we will work towards a future where every doctor can practice their noble profession free from fear and violence.

Let us stand together in this cause and reaffirm our commitment to improving the conditions for all doctors, ensuring that they can continue to provide the highest standard of care in a safe and supportive environment.

Sincerely,
Dr. Tarun Ohri
President, AIIMSonians of America
