The nurses and midwives of Dinajpur Medical College and Hospital and private hospitals observed a three-hour work abstention till 12pm today (1 October) demanding withdrawal of the cadres of Nursing & Midwifery Council and appointment of experienced nurses instead of them.
The Nursing & Midwifery Reform Council called the three-hour work abstention on Monday.
However, the emergency departments of the hospitals were kept out of the purview of the strike.
The nurses and midwives have been on a movement since 9 September to press home their one-point demand. They will observe work abstention for three hours from 2pm to 5pm on Wednesday.
Patients and the relatives of the patients suffered much due to the work abstention.
