Those 41 doctors did not come to Khulna Medical College Hospital today as they were declared undesirable. It is disrupting healthcare due to doctor-crisis. Patients are suffering. Especially the patients who came for outpatient treatment were suffering the most. Many patients have come back from far away without finding a specific doctor. Suffering was especially high in the medicine and dermatology departments.

Some doctors of Khulna Medical College Hospital said that the head of the cardiology department, Mustafa Kamal, attended the conference room of the hospital yesterday with some students of the medical college. Then he was the acting director of two papers. Aktaruzzaman in front of. At one stage, he was pressured and threatened to thrash the students by making him sign two papers, one of which was Aktaruzzaman's resignation letter and the other was to declare 41 doctors uninvited.

Among those 41 doctors are hospital director, deputy director, assistant director, RS, resident medical officer (RMO), registrar and other important doctors. Most of them doctors are not involved in any politics.

Doctor Mustafa Kamal could not be found in the cardiology department of Khulna Medical College Hospital. Several calls were made to his cell phone to discuss the matter, but he did not pick up the call.

The deputy director's office was seen in charge. Aktaruzzaman is not there. When spoken to on the phone, he said that he was not associated with any politics in his life. Still, it is very sad to force him to resign like this. The anti-discrimination students came and called him and asked him to go to the hospital tomorrow Thursday. He will go to the hospital.

Khulna Medical College Hospital RMO Suman Roy has also been declared uninvited. He sees patients in the outpatient medicine ward. He did not come to the chamber today. When spoken to over the phone, Suman Roy said, 'We are suffering from insecurity due to the way we were declared uninvited in Marmukhi's role yesterday. For this reason, he did not go to the hospital today. If you don't have self-respect, how can you provide medical care?'

According to Khulna Medical College Hospital sources, more than 40 doctors provide services in the outpatient department every day. On an average, more than three thousand patients come for treatment every day.

On this Wednesday morning, it was seen that there are no patients in front of the rooms of the doctors who did not come to the outpatient department of Khulna Medical College Hospital. Especially the second floor is completely empty. Doctors of medicine sit more on that floor. On the third floor there is a long queue of patients in front of the rooms of the doctors who have come today. Many people are getting bored due to long queues.

Urology department doctor Anjan Kumar Chakraborty was giving treatment on the third floor. As a doctor of urology, he also sees patients in medicine. Long line in front of his room. Anjan Kumar said that the patient pressure is high but there is not much problem in handling the patients. All those who came are being treated.

Third floor ticket master Sabrina Akhter said, patients came as usual. As there is a shortage of doctors, serious patients are being referred to other doctors. And slightly less serious patients were sent back with requests to come next Saturday.

In front of the doctor's room, the person in charge of the serial care of the patients said, “We have come in the morning.” I came and saw that the doctors did not come. When they called, they said that they are at risk of security, that is why they did not come. Patients come and go.

Sajidul Islam Bappi, co-coordinator of anti-discrimination students' movement, said that they have been discriminated against for the past 16 years, we don't want them to be discriminated against. We have learned that many are venting personal grudges. A faida lota attempt is underway to remove one and install another.

He said, a doctor's name is coming up here again and again. He is the Department of Cardiology Dr. Mustafa Kamal We didn't get him. We are also investigating him. We do not support the forced removal of anyone. If someone is to be removed, it should be done step by step subject to systematic investigation. I will evacuate 40 people in one day, it will disrupt the medical services. This is affecting the entire Khulna division. We are talking to everyone, will also talk to the health secretary. There are 2 parts, health care and education. A part of the students of education part did this work. However, not only the students have rights in the health department, the citizens and patients of the Khulna department have more rights here. We want to play a role in the fair solution here.
