Mitford strike ends after 30 hours
Sunday, 7 September 2014
Nurses and interns at Sir Salimullah Medical College and Hospital – better known as Mitford hospital – have returned to work ending a 30-hour strike that caused huge sufferings to the public. However, all the services are yet to resume.
The caregivers went on a strike Saturday protesting against an alleged assault on one of the nurses by an intern, according to a news agency .
The interns started their eight-hour work abstention after the nurses suspended their strike Sunday.
Many seeking medical help were forced to go back. Patients at the hospital suffered the most as none came to attend them.
The interns returned to work on 8:30pm Sunday after the hospital director assured them of taking actions after a proper investigation.
