Manipur's largest healthcare institution, the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), is set to resume normal operations on Wednesday at 8 am, following the suspension of a staff strike.
The hospital staff halted services after a senior consultant was assaulted during protests over a patient's death. The Teachers and Medical Officers' Association at RIMS is demanding improved security, including armed personnel, to prevent further incidents.
Protests erupted at the hospital after the death of Chingshubam Ongbi Manju, leading to vandalism and an assault on a professor by the deceased's relatives. Allegations have highlighted the need for better public relation measures to handle sensitive situations effectively.
