Casualty departments at hospitals, which deal with emergencies, will continue to be staffed.
MUMBAI – India n medical professionals started a 24-hour shutdown of non-emergency services across the country on Saturday in protest against the brutal rape and murder of a doctor in the eastern city of Kolkata.
The shutdown, which began at 6 a.m. , will cut off access to elective medical procedures and out-patient consultations in the world's most populous nation, according to a statement by the Indian Medical Association.
Anger at the failure of tough laws to deter a rising tide of violence against women has fuelled protests by doctors and women's groups. "Women form the majority of our profession in this country. Time and again, we have asked for safety for them," IMA President R. V. Asokan told Reuters on Friday.
