In Ahmedabad, doctors from 27 major hospitals are on strike. More than 500 doctors from corporate and private hospitals are participating, which has led to the closure of over 15,000 OPDs, causing difficulties for patients.
The strike is a response to the recent rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. Doctors across India are protesting against this incident. In Ahmedabad, doctors are also taking part in the strike. Emergency services at hospitals in Ahmedabad are expected to continue.
The Ahmedabad Medical Association has organized a silent rally to protest the incident. They are demanding strict punishment for the accused. Doctors in Rajkot have also organized a rally to show their support and protest.
