The West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front on Thursday wrote a letter to Chief Secretary Manoj Pant, expressing frustration over the state government's silence regarding their concerns.
As junior doctors across the country continue their protest demanding security after the Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital rape and murder case, the union health ministry today appealed them to return to work. The govt also assured them all possible efforts to ensure their security.
In its official statement, IMA stated that routine OPDs and elective surgeries will not take place during those 24 hours; however, other essential services will be maintained.
The Bengal Health Crisis is into its seventh day. After antagonizing the medical fraternity with her threats, Mamata Banerjee will finally be meeting with representatives of various medical institutions at 3.00 p.m. on Monday.
West Bengal doctors crisis began as a small protest which gradually took a nationwide dimension with doctors from all across the country raising voices of dissent against the WB government.
The protesting junior doctors have now agreed to meet Mamata Banerjee at 3:00 PM today. However, the doctors have said that the meeting would have to be “in the full view of the media” and not “behind closed doors”.
