In West Bengal, senior faculty members of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital submitted mass resignations today. They did this in support of the junior doctors who are protesting against the rape and murder of a doctor in August this year.
On the other hand, state Chief Secretary Manoj Pant is holding a meeting with the representatives of the medical colleges and hospitals. This meeting is also attended by West Bengal’s health secretary.
The mass resignation of 54 senior doctors from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Tuesday hasn’t affected healthcare services in the facility as medics continue to treat patients.
The doctors who tendered resignations include specialists from various fields, such as cardiology, orthopedics, and pediatrics, as well as faculty from departments like radiotherapy and general medicine.
