Nurses and midwives across Bangladesh have staged a symbolic two-hour shutdown at health and nursing institutions to press for the implementation of their long-pending demands. Organized by the Bangladesh Nurses Association (BNA), the protest took place on November 30 at hospitals and educational institutions nationwide. The BNA leadership stated that despite assurances from the health adviser, no effective action has been taken in the past 14 months to address professional disparities, administrative reforms, and the preservation of an independent nursing directorate. The association warned that if their eight-point demands are not fulfilled by December 1, a complete and indefinite shutdown will begin on December 2. During the shutdown, nurses will continue emergency services in critical units such as ICUs, NICUs, and emergency departments. The demands include halting the merger of the nursing directorate, approving career structures, granting promotions, upgrading pay grades, and ensuring fair recruitment and benefits. The BNA held the administration responsible for any disruption resulting from the strike.
