The Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot as reported by the timesofindia.com, visited the Jaipur's Sawai Man Singh Hospital and placated the patients that he would look into the matter and hold talks with the doctors to end their strike. For five days the hospital bore a deserted look as patients who came for treatment were left untreated and were left to die by the people who are also called the miracle workers.

The demand by the All Rajasthan In-service Doctors Association (ARISDA) has been long standing and understandingly the doctors went on the strike. They are demanding a pay hike for the last 11 months without any results and now for the last five days have decided to take the extreme step of not treating patients. The government should be equally criticised for the step taken by the doctors as it is their non reactive mode that has pushed the doctors this far.

The Government tackling the present crisis has ordered the health department to treat patients in private hospitals. The rate charged by the private hospitals would be equivalent to the government hospitals and the help of the army was also sought by the government.
