Medical services in the State will be hit on Monday with doctors’ organisations calling a strike in protest against the assault on two junior doctors in West Bengal. Emergency services in both government and private hospitals have been exempted from the strike.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA), which has called a nationwide strike on Monday, said private hospitals, including those in Kerala, will cease to function for 24 hours from 6 a.m. The casualty wings have, however, been exempted from the strike.
