Abstract

Workplace violence against doctors is not new, but in recent times, it has grown up in epidemic proportions. Doctors are more worried about their safety and life in the workplace. Meager government spending on healthcare associated with the poor socioeconomic status of the patient and the ever-rising cost of treatment had worsened the situation in present times. The article aims to address this critical issue and try to find possible ways to prevent it.
