The Joint Platform of Doctors, West Bengal has already expressed its unhappiness with the outcome of Monday’s meeting. As have the junior doctors.

The co-conveners of the Joint Platform of Doctors, Punyabrata Gun and Hiralal Konar, raised questions in a joint statement issued after Monday evening’s meeting:

“The ring of corruption and criminalisation that is directly responsible for the brutal murder of the postgraduate trainee and the characters behind the scene responsible for the larger conspiracy continue to be patronised. In such a scenario can the possibility of a repeat of such incidents be ruled out?

• “We are deeply frustrated,” the statement said. “The state government did not express any desire to reform the healthcare sector which has collapsed and introduce any fundamental changes. We have been made to understand no steps will be taken to end corruption in the education and recruitment system [of doctors and other healthcare staff]. The state government is not willing to prepare a safe environment for the girl students and female doctors. This will have long term consequences and the responsibility of which will be on the chief minister.”
