Should Doctors get involved in the political activities of their communities & countries ?. There are several opinions .
Some believe that as politics directly affect healthcare system & doctors , doctors also should build up a voice for the betterment of healthcare.People appreciate advices of doctors & are always willing to listen to them.So doctors have a great capacity of creating a influence on politics. But this politics need not to be party politics where the opinions of the doctors are biased due to political party strategies. Doctors should always stand with rights of the patients and betterment of healthcare in the future.
