DMCH interns' strike rolls into 3rd day
Sunday, 14 August 2022
Interns at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital continued their strike for the 3rd consecutive day on Saturday protesting what they said the failure of the law enforcement agencies in identifying the attackers on their fellow Sazzad Hossen, reports UNB.
However, the work abstention of the interns seems to have little effect on the regular activities of DMCH.
Visiting the hospital, this correspondent found that doctors are giving services in the wards but there are no interns there.
"For the absence of interns, there seems to have no problem in the services of the hospital in daytime but during night some problems arise as senior doctors leave the hospital early or some do not attend," said a physician.
Contacted, officer in-charge of Shahbagh police station said, "We have got some primary information and we are working based on those clues. I think we will be able to identify the culprits within three to four days."
The DMCH interns went on strike for an indefinite period on Thursday in protest against the 'failure of the police to arrest those who attacked one of their peers on Monday'.
