Breaking the Silence: The Urgent Need to Protect Female Resident Doctors
Journal Title: Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The brutal murder of a female pulmonary resident doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata has exposed the dangerous and often overlooked reality faced by female resident doctors in India. Overworked, under-protected and vulnerable to violence, these young resident doctors face extraordinary challenges in an already demanding medical profession. This article explores the systemic issues that contribute to the unsafe working conditions for female resident doctors, the prevalence of violence in healthcare settings and the urgent need for reform to protect those who dedicate their lives to the medical profession.
