Protests held at Safdarjung and AIIMS due to Kolkata doctor's murder, causing inconvenience to patients as work is stopped.

In New Delhi, there is a major protest happening among doctors and medical students from Safdarjung Hospital, AIIMS and MAMC. The reason for this protest is the horrific sexual assault and murder of a post-graduate trainee doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The medical community is outraged and demanding justice for the 31-year-old victim.

On Monday, the doctors at Safdarjung Hospital, AIIMS, and MAMC went on strike and halted all work. They are pressing for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) enquiry into the incident and seeking justice for the victim. This strike has caused disruptions in hospital services across West Bengal, where junior doctors, interns, and post-graduate trainees have been on strike for four days now.

The strikes in both West Bengal and the national capital have had a significant impact on patients and their families. One outpatient shared their frustration with IANS, stating that they arrived at the hospital at 7am but were unable to see a doctor due to the protesting and demanding for justice. This has caused a lot of trouble for patients seeking medical attention.

One of the resident doctors, Dr. Akansha, expressed concerns about the safety of doctors and medical students while they are working. She mentioned that the recent tragedy in Kolkata, where the post-mortem report revealed the brutality similar to the infamous Nirbhaya rape case, has left the medical community feeling unsafe. The fact that this happened on hospital premises is frightening and the reason for their protest.

Another resident doctor also spoke to IANS and mentioned that the protests will continue until their demands are met. They are determined to stand up for their rights and safety. Dr. Shafat Ahmed from MAMC highlighted the lack of security on hospital premises and the need for all doctors and nurses, especially female staff, to feel safe while at work. They are also in contact with RG Kar Medical College and Hospital to ensure security at their own college as well.

In the midst of all this, the principal of RG Kar Medical College resigned on Monday as the strike by junior doctors, interns, and post-graduate trainees continued. They are demanding a magisterial enquiry into the rape and murder of the trainee doctor.

The entire medical community is standing in solidarity and demanding justice for the victim. It is a crucial time for the safety and security of doctors and medical professionals to be addressed and for measures to be taken to prevent such horrific incidents from happening again.
