Doctors took to the streets across India on Wednesday to demand sweeping changes to healthcare worker protections, after a female student medic was raped and murdered last week at a government-run hospital. The strike came as federal investigators arrived in the eastern city of Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal state where the incident happened, following demands from protestors for an inquiry.
A committee to draft the law, which the federation referred to as the Central Healthcare Protection Act, will meet within two weeks according to the statement. Still, thousands of other doctors continued their protests in solidarity, calling for the suspension of the Kolkata school's principal and the swift implementation of the protection law.
