Bangladeshi postgraduate trainees and intern doctors end strike after Health Minister assures to consider allowance increase demand.

In Bangladesh, postgraduate trainees and intern doctors called off their strike after Health Minister Samanta Lal Sen assured that their allowance increase demands would be considered. The doctors had protested for a raise in their allowance from Tk 25,000 to Tk 50,000, but were not satisfied with the previous increase from Tk 20,000. The strike was temporarily suspended for a month, with the possibility of resumption if demands aren't met.
