Mysuru: Even as the adamant attitude of both the State Government and private doctors continued on the fourth day today with regard to the controversial Karnataka Private Medical Establishments (Amendment) Bill, 2017, locked gates and notices welcomed the patients in all the private hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and diagnostic centres here in city. Meanwhile, even as the Indian Dental Association (IDA) extended its support to the striking doctors, nearly 200 of them belonging to IMA, Mysore Branch and MAHAN staged a dharna in J.K. Grounds shouting slogans against the Health Minister K.R. Ramesh Kumar and the State Government against the draconian KPME (Amendment) Bill. The outpatient departments, new admissions, emergency and casualty were all closed in all the hospitals including major ones like Apollo, Columbia Asia, Gopal Gowda and JSS Hospitals. In these hospitals, the treatment continued only for in-patients.
