Interns at Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital in Bogra continued their strike for the second consecutive day on Monday, increasing the sufferings of patients, reports UNB.
The doctors went on the indefinite strike to press for their four-point demand, including taking action against a patient's relatives for their alleged misconduct.
Sources at the hospital said the patient, Alauddin Sarkar, 60, of Konagati area of Sirajganj, was admitted to the hospital on Saturday midnight.
