Key Doctors' Body Pauses Strike As Bengal Calls Meet To Discuss Demands | Read
The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), the key doctors' body, today paused its nationwide shutdown of elective services in hospitals in solidarity with medics' ongoing protest in West Bengal after the state government called a meeting to discuss their demands.
"We will closely assess this meeting's outcome to ensure it meets the demands of the West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front (WBJDF). If the meeting fails to produce satisfactory results, we will proceed with a complete boycott from October 15 onward," the FAIMA said, which yesterday had called for a nationwide strike on Monday.
