Doctors Nationwide To Launch Hunger Strike Over Rape-Murder Case
The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has declared a nationwide hunger strike starting on October 9, in response to the alleged rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College in West Bengal. The incident, which occurred on August 9, has sparked weeks of protests by junior doctors in the state.
FAIMA President Suvrankar Datta expressed solidarity with the junior doctors in West Bengal, stating that their struggle for justice has the support of medical professionals nationwide. “We are united in our stance and will continue to raise our voices for safety and better working conditions,” Datta said.
The strike aims to highlight critical issues like improving safety protocols for healthcare workers, particularly junior doctors, who often work under high-stress conditions. FAIMA has urged healthcare workers across the country to participate in the strike as a show of unity in advocating for these much-needed reforms.
FAIMA’s decision to organize this hunger strike reflects the growing frustration among medical professionals regarding their working environment. The association hopes this nationwide action will amplify the ongoing protests and pressure authorities to implement necessary changes.
