22 doctors at Medinipur Medical College on strike after 12 suspended over saline scam

A strike has been initiated by 22 junior doctors from the gynecology and anesthesia departments at Medinipur Medical College after the suspension of 12 doctors, including six PGT medical students, by the West Bengal government. The suspension orders, issued by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday afternoon, are in connection with an ongoing investigation into a saline scam at the hospital. Those suspended include Moumita Mandal, Pooja Saha, Jagruti Ghosh, Bhagyashree Kundu, Manish Kumar, and Sushant Mandal, along with senior hospital staff such as the hospital superintendent and the RMO.

The strike began Thursday night with the junior doctors in the maternity ward, protesting against the suspensions. By Friday morning, the strike had expanded to other departments of the medical college. The protesting doctors are calling for the reinstatement of their colleagues who were suspended without prior notice or a detailed investigation. Despite the ongoing strike, emergency services in the outpatient department (OPD) and essential medical services, including critical care, have remained operational.

The saline scam investigation is currently being handled by the authorities, and the hospital administration is in talks with the striking doctors to resolve the situation. No official resolution has been reached yet, and authorities are working to ensure that patient care is not disrupted while addressing the concerns raised by the protesting medical staff. The strike has drawn significant attention to the ongoing investigation, which continues to unfold at Medinipur Medical College.
