Doctors at AIIMS, RML end strike over Kolkata rape case after 11 days
Hindustan TimesAfter 11 days, resident doctors at Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital called off the strike on Thursday in response to an appeal made by the Supreme Court of India. After 11 days of protest, resident doctors at Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital on Thursday called off their indefinite strike over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata earlier this month. Earlier on Thursday, the Supreme Court had implored doctors to end their stir: “How does a public health infrastructure run if the doctors don’t report to work? To address the safety concerns of doctors, the Union ministry of health and family welfare directed government hospitals to conduct security audits to gauge the individual hospital’s need to expand security cover.
