T<\/strong>he medical<\/strong> strike at El Ro<\/strong>seiris and Ed Damazin hospitals in Sudan’s <\/strong>Blue Nile s<\/strong>tate continued for the sixth day because of an<\/strong> attack on the doctors of Ed Damazin Royal Hospital<\/a>, allegedly by members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abdelaziz Suuriba of the leadership of the Alliance for Freedom and Change in Ed Damazin told Radio Dabanga on Monday: “The strike of doctors and other medical staff<\/a> at Ed Damazin and El Roseiris hospitals is continuing”.<\/p>\n

He added that the doctors lifted the strike in the health insurance centres because of the large pressure on the field clinic at the sit-in in the town.<\/p>\n

The doctors conditioned lifting the strike with meeting their demands of provision of protection to the doctors, hospitals and health centres and bringing the perpetrators to justice.<\/p>\n

Medical staff of the hospitals and centres of health insurance in Ed Damazin and El Roseiris entered a strike from work because of the assault of elements of the RSF government militia on doctors in Ed Damazin hospital a week ago, where the perpetrators were reportedly identified by monitoring their names on the entry register to the hospital.<\/p>\n

The doctors at the Bahri Government Hospital in Khartoum North have been involved in a comprehensive strike in all parts of the hospital for days in protest against low wages and late payment of dues.<\/p>\n

Witnesses said general doctors, specialists, and nurses were on strike.<\/p>\n

The source pointed out that the demands of strikers were the need to improve wages and the payment of financial arrears.<\/p>\n
