NEW DELHI: Doctors, postgraduate medicos, and medical teachers in Kerala will protest in government medical colleges across the state today, against the recent sexual assault and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor in a state-run hospital in Kolkata. The KGMCTA, an association of government medical college teachers, on Sunday strongly condemned the tragic murder of the PG student and said the doctors in the southern state would protest against the gruesome incident. "The safety of women doctors, who are part of the night duty and emergency department duty work, has always been a matter of concern," it said in a statement. It is the responsibility of the respective governments to create a safe working environment so that they can perform their work fearlessly, it said.
