As many as seven\u00a0female students of Trivandrum medical college have approached the principal seeking permission to wear long sleeve scrub jackets and surgical hoods inside the Operation Theatre. According to the students, it\u00a0is part of their religious belief they have to cover their heads at all times and it is not possible to wear \u2018hijab\u2019 inside OT.\u00a0Hence, they looked at alternate options.<\/p>\n

Trivandrum medical college\u2019s principal, Dr Linnet, who confirmed the same, said, he will call a meeting of surgeons and the infection control team to discuss the possibility of wearing long sleeve jackets inside the OT. The team will have to decide whether this is possible or not, he said.<\/p>\n

The principal received the request on June 26. The letter was written by a student of the 2020 MBBS student and carried signatures of students of 2018, 2021, and 2022 batches. As students, they are now only observers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The principal\u00a0further explained to the female students that it could be difficult as every time they enter the OT they have to scrub and sterilise their hands up to the elbow and then they can wear the gown.\u00a0Hence, wearing long sleeves could be a problem. The principal, however, said she will call for a meeting of surgeons and the infection control team to look into the matter.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, earlier, a controversy erupted in Madhya Pradesh\u2019s Damoh district after it was alleged that a private school was forcing its students<\/a> to wear a \u2018hijab\u2019.\u00a0The allegations were levelled after a poster of Ganga Jamuna Higher Secondary School in Damoh showed girls, including Hindu students, were seen wearing headscarves that \u2018looked like hijab.\u2019\u00a0The state government ordered a probe into the matter. Home Minister Narottam Mishra said that the superintendent of police has been instructed to thoroughly investigate it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
