The NMC has urged that the campus should be a safe space for all the staff members including the faculty, students and resident doctors.
The NMC advisory has come during the ongoing protests by resident and junior doctors in hospitals across the country against the rape and murder of a resident doctor in Kolkata inside the hospital premises.
