As per reports, three hundred foreign-trained doctors in France, known as Padhue, have initiated a hunger strike on Wednesday (05 March).

• The strike is a response to unmet promises of regularization, which affects their professional recognition and employment conditions.
• The hunger strike will continue until at least a planned demonstration on Saturday (08 March).
• The doctors are protesting the results of the 2024 knowledge verification exams, which are crucial for their regularization.
• There is significant discontent over the allocation of exam places, with 20 percent of positions unfilled despite qualified candidates.
