Junior doctors serving as interns at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH) have called off their work suspension, according to reports emerging from the institution on Monday. The decision to halt the stoppage was made following a series of negotiations between the interns and hospital management.
The interns had initiated the work suspension to press demands related to their employment conditions and institutional grievances. However, after dialogue with senior hospital officials, the junior doctors agreed to resume their regular duties at the facility.
Details regarding the specific outcome of the negotiations and whether the interns' demands were addressed remain limited. Hospital authorities have not yet issued an official statement detailing the resolution or any concessions granted during the talks.
The suspension of the work stoppage marks a resolution to the recent tensions at RMCH, one of the country's prominent medical institutions. The hospital continues to serve as a major healthcare facility in the Rajshahi region, providing medical services to patients from across northwestern Bangladesh.
