The Union Health Ministry has issued a series of directives to all states, aimed at ensuring the safety of healthcare workers and doctors. This move comes in response to widespread protests following the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The ministry has communicated these guidelines through a letter addressed to chief secretaries and director general of police from each state.
