After Doctor's Assault, Tamil Nadu To Introduce Patient Attendant Tag System
Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian announced that a tag system for patient attendants will be introduced in a phased manner across all government medical colleges, district headquarters hospitals, and taluk hospitals.
This decision follows an incident in which Dr. Balaji Jagannathan, a senior oncologist at the Kalaignar Centenary Super Speciality Hospital (KCSSH), was stabbed multiple times by the son of a cancer patient he had treated.
The minister explained that the tag system had initially been piloted at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) in early October.
