“I was completely shaken by the incident. But we never imagined it would come to a point where a doctor could be raped and murdered in the hospital,”
If a doctor is not safe how she can work to make a healthy society.
The tragic incident has again cast a spotlight on the violence against doctors and nurses in the country. Reports of doctors, regardless of gender, being assaulted by patients and their relative have gained widespread attention. Women - who make up nearly 30% of India’s doctors and 80% of the nursing staff - are more vulnerable than their male colleagues.
The crime in the Kolkata hospital last week exposed the alarming security risks faced by the medical staff in many of India's state-run health facilities
I request every pera medical staff to support and help each other's untill government or management of institutions and not ready to help us.
