Safety Concerns for Female Doctors in India

28-year-old Indian doctor Radhika had always dreamed of saving lives, but after a colleague was brutally raped and murdered, her own safety has become a top concern. Following the recent incident at a government hospital in Kolkata, where a female doctor was found brutally attacked, the lack of security measures for female doctors has sparked outrage and protests.

With long working hours and minimal breaks, female medics in India face constant safety threats. The lack of security norms at medical establishments has highlighted the vulnerability of healthcare workers. The recent Supreme Court order for a national task force to examine security measures reflects the urgent need for improved safety protocols.

Female doctors across India have shared stories of abuse, lack of proper facilities, and fear for their safety. Despite the challenges, these women are determined to continue serving in healthcare. As the nation grapples with the issue of violence against women, the safety of female doctors remains a critical concern that requires immediate action.
