Mumbai, July 19 -- A final-year postgraduate student from the paediatrics department of a government hospital, Mumbai, attempted suicide on July 16 by consuming a sedative prescribed for anxiety and sleep-related disorders. The concerned hospital and the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) have constituted committees to look into the circumstances which led to the suicide attempt. The 28-year-old, a junior resident, was brought to the hospital by her colleagues. She was conscious, stable, and no abnormalities were detected, but she was admitted to the hospital's Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) where she remains under close observation. Hospital sources said she was already on medication for a psychiatric condition. Of the two committees constituted to look into the case, the hospital is conducting an internal inquiry, and the DMER is expected to gather statements from students, faculty members, and administrative staff to ascertain whether any workplace-related grievances were involved. Some of her fellow students have alleged that she was facing mental harassment at work. These claims are under an official review, and the hospital authorities said that the committee's inquiry will assess all aspects of the case and then take appropriate action....
