Young doctors were jubilant after successful talks with the hospital administration


YDA staged a sit-in five days ago, demanding to restore two doctors and one nurse of Mayo Hospital. The protest created problems for the locals due to blockage of roads.

On the other hand, Punjab government had formed a four-member committee to investigate the matter.

Earlier, local authorities while taking action against the protesters had also suspended 15 doctors and five nurses whereas 30 nurses were directed to report to Primary Health Care Department.

A child and a cardiac patient also died at Mayo hospital over not receiving timely treatment as the emergency ward has been locked in the aftermath of doctors’ protest.
