A council of intern doctors called the strike from 8 am to 11.30 am on Thursday. “The intern doctors are treating those patients without minimum protection gear. The hospital authority had not arranged any protection gear for the doctors. That’s why the strike was called. Later, the intern doctors went back to work after they were given some masks and robes.”The hospital authority did not provide any protection gear during the dengue outbreak, he alleged adding that at least 200 intern doctors work in the hospital.
