Their decision was taken after three doctors and three nurses were assaulted following the death of a patient at the College of Medicine and Sagore Dutta Hospital near Kolkata on September 27
Junior doctors of West Bengal on Saturday night said they will resume total ‘cease work’ in medical colleges across the state after hearing of the RG Kar case in the Supreme Court on Monday (September 30).
Their decision was taken after three doctors and three nurses were assaulted following the death of a patient at the College of Medicine and Sagore Dutta Hospital near Kolkata on September 27. The medics alleged that the attack at Sagore Dutta Hospital has shown the state government has “totally failed” in keeping their promises to provide them security.
“We are giving the state some time and want to hear their submission regarding our security in the Supreme Court on Monday. Then, from 5 PM we will start total cease work at all hospitals across Bengal,” one of the junior doctors said.
On September 21, junior doctors rejoined their duties partially at various government-run hospitals in West Bengal after a hiatus of 42 days. They were on ‘cease work’ in protest against the rape-murder of an on-duty woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
