The case of the rape and murder of a doctor at Kolkata RG Kar Medical College is gaining momentum. Condemning the rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata, experts on Monday stressed the need for the safety of doctors.

Ishwar Gilada, who heads the doctors' organization Organized Medicine Academic Guild-OMAG, said in this case, 'This is nothing new. Many attacks and issues related to the safety of doctors keep happening every day. 'We strongly oppose such incidents, and request that there should be no politicization of it.' He then added, "The safety and security of the doctor should be of paramount importance."

The experts also raised concerns about the lack of security in hospitals. They said, "Proper restrooms should be provided for doctors on duty. Doctors work round the clock and have no choice but to sleep or rest in designated rooms. Unfortunately, these rooms may be located in remote corners of large buildings. Sleep is a necessary bodily function, and a tired doctor often has no choice but to sleep wherever he finds space."
