IMA will not tolerate unrealistic targets for surgeries in a camp

IMA has been informed that at State Level, targets are given to doctors by CMOs to conduct a specific number of surgeries in a camp in a day. 

As per documents available with IMA a target of 100-250 had been given to doctors for performing sterilization surgeries in one day. 

As per IMA guidelines which are also consistent with Govt. guidelines, in one day, more than 30 such surgeries should not be done.
