Intern and postgraduate doctors across Bangladesh have suspended their ongoing strike and protests after receiving government assurances that their six-point demands will be implemented within seven working days. The decision was announced Monday evening following a meeting at the Directorate General of Health Services attended by the Health Secretary Md. Kamruzzaman Chowdhury, the directors general of health and medical education, and representatives of the protesting doctors.
During a press briefing, the Health Secretary said that all private trainees who passed FCPS Part-1 and MD/MS (Phase-1) exams would receive monthly stipends. He also announced proportional increases in existing stipends in line with the new government pay scale, discussions on a Health Protection Act, and recommendations to extend the age limit for BCS Health Cadre recruitment. Authorities further pledged to rationalize exam fees and develop a fair salary structure for entry-level doctors in private institutions.
The protests had entered their second day before the suspension, with doctors and students staging demonstrations and class boycotts to protest long-standing disparities, neglect, and insecurity in the health sector.
