The National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital has resumed operations after a volatile situation that lasted for four days.

Since this morning (16 February), doctors have been doing operations at the six operation theatres and one cath lab of the hospital, said Dr Humayun Kabir Himu, an assistant professor at the hospital.

"The hospital is fully operational. There are no problems anywhere, and the indoor and outdoor sections are open. There is no work abstention, and the routine operations which were postponed are now being done," Humayun said.

"A vested quarter had planned to turn the environment at the hospital unstable using fourth-grade workers and outsiders today. Police have taken two people to the police station for questioning. The situation is normal now, and everybody is working," Humayun added.

"The health adviser wants the situation at the hospital to be normal. We are working to that purpose," the doctor further said.

Meanwhile, the hospital's Joint Director Prof Badrul Alam has been working at the hospital since the morning.

The strike, which began on Wednesday (12 February), was prompted by an attack on doctors – who have been demanding the resignation of both the director and joint director – by third- and fourth-class hospital employees.

While routine operations had been suspended, emergency services, including surgeries, continue, several doctors at the facility told The Business Standard this afternoon.

Following the unrest, Professor Dr Quazi Deen Mohammad, the director of the institute, tendered his resignation letter to the health ministry.

Additionally, four months ago, Professor Dr Gurudas Mondal, a leader of the Swadhinata Chikitsak Parishad (Swachip), a pro-Awami League platform of doctors, was transferred from the Neurosciences Hospital to Pabna Medical College Hospital.

His recent return to the institute sparked anger among the doctors.

On 12 February, the protesting doctors gathered in room 402 of the hospital demanding the cancellation of Dr Mondal's appointment order. Third- and fourth-class employees, along with outsourced workers, attacked the doctors, injuring at least 10 people, including two doctors.
