Health ministry approves 25% enhancement in security deployment at central hospitals

Amid protests following a trainee doctor's alleged rape and murder in Kolkata, the Health Ministry increased security at Union hospitals by 25%. Officials noted that existing state laws already protect healthcare workers. A new committee will examine hospital security and facilities. Authorities urged striking doctors to resume work to avoid affecting patient care.
