Delhi: Patients return home without treatment as doctors' strike enters day two

Hindustan Times  

A 47-year-old patient from Chhattisgarh's Raipur who travelled to Delhi for treatment at the AIIMS due to severe chest pain and breathing difficulties had to return home without receiving care as the doctors continued their strike for the second day against the rape-murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. With the doctors on strike, it’s becoming difficult, as there are already too many patients in the government hospitals who can't get treated even on normal days," he said. Meanwhile, over a thousand resident doctors holding banners and posters marched through the hospital premises chanting "no safety, no duty" and "justice for victims". The protest comes in response to a nationwide indefinite strike call by the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association after the postgraduate trainee doctor was raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College while on duty last Thursday.
