Healthcare services affected as junior doctors continue total 'cease work' in West Bengal



The doctors also expressed concern with the pace of the CBI investigation into the rape and murder of the medic.”The CBI’s investigation is frustratingly slow. We’ve seen many cases where delays result in culprits going free. We are disappointed,” said a statement released by the junior doctors on Tuesday.In addition to demanding swift justice for the deceased doctor, the agitating medics have outlined a broader list of grievances.Among their nine demands are the removal of the state’s health secretary, greater police protection in hospitals, and the recruitment of permanent female police personnel.The doctors also called for the immediate filling of all vacant posts for doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers, as well as the implementation of a digital bed vacancy monitoring system in hospitals.Furthermore, the junior doctors demanded students’ council elections in all medical colleges and the recognition of Resident Doctors’ Associations (RDAs).They urged that elected students and junior doctors be represented in committees managing hospitals and colleges.
