The doctors are protesting against unmet welfare concerns, inadequate working conditions, and unfulfilled commitments by the government in previous negotiations.

According to NARD, the indefinite strike will remain in effect until the government addresses all pending issues and fulfills the doctors’ demands across the country’s public hospitals.
