A group of local contract doctors are organising the #HartalDoktorKontrak movement in order to push the government to provide them with fairer compensation and benefits. We find out more by first, hearing directly from the organisers of the strike about what’s happening and what they’re demanding. Then we speak about the medical field's system. Finally, we look at how public health funding fits into the picture.
