India: Doctors Strike Hits Indian Hospitals Over Trainee’s Murder
Hospitals across India have been hit by a nationwide strike by doctors protesting the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor.
The 26-year-old doctor was found dead in a hospital compound in Delhi on Wednesday. She had been missing for several hours before her body was discovered.
Police say they are investigating the incident and have arrested a suspect. However, the doctor’s death has sparked outrage among the medical community in India.
Doctors’ unions have called for a nationwide strike to demand justice for the victims and better security for healthcare workers. The strike is expected to disrupt hospitals across the country.
This is not the first time doctors in India have gone on strike over safety concerns. In recent years, there have been several attacks on healthcare workers, both physical and verbal.
The Indian government has condemned the doctor’s death and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. However, many doctors say more must be done to ensure their safety.
