Hundreds of thousands of Indian health workers launched a nationwide strike demanding justice and protection, prompted by the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata.
The Indian Medical Association condemned the crime as one of 'barbaric scale' and stressed the urgent need for safe working environments for health professionals and women.
As protests erupted across various cities, health workers emphasized their vulnerability and the need for better working conditions, stating: 'Hands that heal shouldn't bleed.'
Medical professionals have raised their voices amidst trauma, exemplified by medical student Antara Das who asked, 'If this happened inside a hospital that is second home to us, where are we safe now?'
