The West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front (WBJDF) is a representative body of junior doctors working in government medical institutions across West Bengal.[1][2] It gained prominence through its involvement in advocating for better working conditions, medical infrastructure, and the safety of healthcare workers.[3]
Overview
[edit]The WBJDF was formed to address the concerns of junior doctors, including inadequate infrastructure, patient care issues, and security in state-run hospitals. It formed during the protest for justice over 2024 Kolkata rape and murder incident.[4] It is trying to ensure accountability from the government and health authorities, along with providing a platform for junior doctors to voice their grievances.[5]
