Doctors begin 24-hour long nationwide strike, demand justice for RG Kar

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) began a 24-hour withdrawal of health services by all doctors of modern medicine across the country, irrespective of the sector and place of work. The withdrawal of services is from 6 a.m. on Saturday to 6 a.m. on Sunday, impacting outpatient services and elective surgeries.

Doctors across the country have led the protests following the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the R.G. Kar Hospital in Kolkata on August 9.

Meanwhile, opposition parties in West Bengal have amped up the protests against the Trinamool Congress government and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, with the BJP organizing demonstrations across the State.

The Resident Doctors' Federation (FORDA) is also observing a strike demanding justice for the trainee doctor and they also want a strict law for the protection of healthcare workers.
