In Bengal IMA has 17,000 doctors as its members.
'If the parents vote, their children will also get a discount on fees when visiting child specialists or pathological labs,” Sen said.
Asked how the IMA will know that the doctors are actually giving discounts, Saini said, 'We can only appeal to the conscience of the doctors to be a part in the cause.'
Even if 25 to 40 per cent of IMA members responded to the appeal, it would be deemed as having set an example, Sen said.
Saini says that more than one crore patients are treated everyday by 2.5 lakh member-doctors of the association spread across India.
