40 doctors of state-run Kolkata hospital resign
Forty doctors of state-run SSKM Hospital in Kolkata resigned en masse on Thursday to show solidarity with the medics who have been on hunger strike to press for their demands since October 5.
The development came days after a number of senior doctors from various hospitals signed a resignation letter, clarifying that it was “symbolic”. Nine junior doctors — seven in Kolkata and two in North Bengal — are on fast unto death.
“We are deeply concerned for the health of the protesting doctors,” SSKM Hospital Dr Gautam Das said. He highlighted the lack of progress in resolving the impasse despite the doctors’ unwavering commitment to their demands.
