Doctors across the country are on strike to protest against the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor in Kolkata.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has declared a nationwide withdrawal of non-emergency health services for 24 hours -- that began at 6 am today -- over a week after the horrific incident at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

All essential services will be maintained and casualties will be manned, the IMA said in a statement. The routine OPDs will not function and elective surgeries will not be conducted. 

The withdrawal is across all sectors, wherever modern medicine doctors are providing service, the top body of doctors said.
