Bengal’s Sagore Dutta hospital is under scrutiny after a junior doctor attack.

• Junior doctors and nurses at CMSDH in Kamarhati, West Bengal, called for a strike after a patient’s family attacked on-duty staff.
• The incident occurred after the patient’s death, with the bereaved family attacking and injuring doctors, trainees, and nurses.
• The doctors alleged that the police did not intervene promptly and arrived half an hour after the doctors’ call for help.
• The incident follows the rape-murder of a junior doctor at the R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata in August.
• The state government announced safety directives for junior doctors on September 21, leading to a month-long protest.
• If security issues persist, doctors across the state may be forced to strike again.
