The doctors at the Matariya hospital have held a week-long strike after low-ranking policemen reportedly assaulted two doctors at the hospital in January.
According to Almesryoon.com, the doctors will wait until 12 February for the assembly of the Doctors Syndicate, a statement issued by the resigned doctors said.
However, the doctors said that they would resume running the reception and emergency departments, but work in all other departments would be halted.
