Though the doctor's union had clarified that essential services would remain open, long queues outside the Out-Patient Departments (OPDs) suggested otherwise.
Resident doctors from various government hospitals in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow have launched an indefinite strike demanding swift justice for the gruesome rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. The demonstrations were held at prominent medical institutions, including King George's Medical University (KGMU), Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute (KSSSCI), and Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences. Heart-wrenching scenes from outside the hospitals showed patients banging on the doors as they had come from different cities to get treatment.
Though the doctor's union had clarified that essential services would remain open, long queues outside the Out-Patient Departments (OPDs) suggest otherwise.
"Doctors have the right to protest, but what about us? We have come from so far," says Arun Kumar, a patient who travelled over 300 kms to get treated at the Out-Patient Departments (OPDs) of KGMU.
