Patients' kin implore as Bengal doctor's strike continues

 

 Health services in West Bengal's state-run hospitals on Friday remained disrupted as protesting doctors continued their strike despite repeated requests by patients' families to start treatment.

The junior doctors at the NRS Medical College and Hospital - the epicentre of the protests - continued their sit-in. However, hospital gates were opened enabling normalcy of emergency services.

The cease work at the outpatient departments (OPDs) continued in most of the state-run hospitals.
