New Delhi: The strike by resident doctors, protesting against the assault on a colleague by allegedly the relatives of a patient, in West Delhi's Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) hospital entered its second day today.
The strike affected the services in the hospital, including the emeregency which is being run by a few senior doctors with help of skeletal staff.
Resident doctors of some other Delhi government hospitals today extended support to the protest by observing a "token strike" in their respective hospitals.
The resident doctors yesterday went on an indefinite strike after one of their colleagues and hospital guards were allegedly assaulted by the relatives of a patient on Sunday.
Three persons have been arrested in the case and it was found that one of the accused had served as a guard in the hospital before. He alleged that his wife was not attended by the doctors in time.
The strike affected the services in the hospital as the out-patient department (OPD) remained shut and 40 routine surgeries were cancelled yesterday.
