As the agitating doctors continue their nationwide stir to protest against the rape and gruesome murder of a trainee doctor at the R G Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata earlier this month, the Union Health Ministry on Saturday assured protesting doctors that a committee will be formed to suggest “all possible measures for ensuring the safety of healthcare professionals.”

Agitating doctors across the country have been on strike and demanding the legislation of a Central Act to ensure stringent punishment for people assaulting on-duty healthcare professionals.
The Union Health Ministry said the committee will receive representation from all stakeholders, including professional bodies such as the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA), the Indian Medical Association (IMA), and the state governments.
The Ministry requested the agitating doctors to resume their duties in the larger public interest and in view of the rising cases of Dengue and Malaria.
