 "In Kolkata, junior doctors protest following a tragic attack, threatening a statewide cease work amidst rising violence against medical staff.")
Junior doctors in West Bengal are set to resume a total cease work at medical colleges following a troubling incident involving the assault of doctors and nurses after a patient’s death. Their decision comes amid ongoing protests sparked by the tragic sexual assault and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital. The junior doctors feel the state government has failed to ensure their safety, prompting their action. They plan to wait for the government’s response to their security concerns in a Supreme Court hearing before officially restarting their protest. This follows a partial resumption of duties after a 42-day strike that focused on improving safety standards for medical professionals.
Junior doctors in West Bengal are set to restart a complete ‘cease work’ in medical colleges across the state following the distressing news regarding the recent case involving a postgraduate trainee doctor. This decision comes after three doctors and three nurses were assaulted at the College of Medicine and Sagore Dutta Hospital in Kolkata after a patient’s death on Friday night. The junior doctors expressed their frustration, claiming that the state government has failed to ensure their safety despite previous promises.
The junior doctors plan to halt all medical services from 5 PM on Monday unless they receive satisfactory assurances about their security during the Supreme Court hearing regarding the RG Kar case. They had only recently returned to work after a 42-day protest against the horrific rape and murder of a female doctor who was on duty at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The escalating violence against medical professionals in West Bengal is raising serious concerns about their safety and the government’s commitment to protecting healthcare workers.
As the medical community seeks justice and security, many eyes will be on the developments after the Supreme Court hearing.
