Hundreds of doctors in India continued their protests on August 19, demanding stricter laws to protect healthcare workers from violence and justice for a trainee doctor raped and killed at Kolkata's R G Kar Medical College. Holding placards reading "Justice delayed is justice denied," they clashed with police while attempting to offer free outpatient services outside the New Delhi Health Ministry. Demonstrations, including candlelight marches and non-emergency patient refusals, have spread nationwide. Doctors call for stronger legal protections and increased hospital security. The government has promised to review their demands through a committee.
