In Remembrance of Tilottama: A Call for Justice and Protection for Our Medical Community

2024-08-25

The editorial board of International Journal of Medical Advances extends its deepest condolences and unwavering solidarity to the family, friends, and colleagues of Tilottama, a beloved member of our medical fraternity whose life was tragically taken in a heinous incident at R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

This brutal act is not just an assault on an individual, but on the entire medical community, which tirelessly dedicates itself to the service of humanity. Such violence against healthcare professionals is intolerable and deeply undermines the sense of security that is essential for them to perform their duties with confidence and compassion.

As we mourn the loss of Tilottama, we stand with our colleagues in Kolkata and across India in their demands for justice, safety, and accountability. We call on the relevant authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and to implement stronger measures to protect our medical professionals, who are the backbone of our society.

We urge our readers and the global medical community to unite in condemning this atrocity and to support all efforts to prevent such tragedies in the future. Let us honor the memory of Tilottama by advocating for a safer and more just environment for all healthcare workers.

In solidarity,

Dr. Arindam Naskar
