Mitford interns continue strike

An indefinite strike called by the intern doctors of Sir Salimullah Medical College and Hospital ( Mitford Hospital) entered third day Wednesday.
The interns did not join work and formed a human chain near the hospital building around noon Wednesday, according to a news agency.
The interns had struck work Monday, hours after ETV filed a case against the hospital director and four interns, accusing them of assaulting its reporters and camerapersons.
Besides the interns’ strike, Mitford Hospital authorities decided to file a counter-case against the journalists.
On Saturday, interns at the hospital allegedly beat up ETV reporters and cameramen when they went there to cover an incident of alleged medical negligence.
The journalists were also detained in the director's room for several hours.
