PMCH junior doctors strike enters 4th day

The indefinite strike by over 850 junior doctors entered the fourth day crippling work at the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) and Darbhanga Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in Bihar to press their demand for salary instead of stipend.
Health services in both the premier institutions remained paralysed causing immense hardship to the patients and guardians.
