Summary Emergency and OPDs of the hospitals will be closed across the province in a protest.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Young doctors on Tuesday are protesting across Punjab over trying to arrest Dr Atif in a corruption case.
According to details, emergency and OPDs of the hospitals will be closed across the province in a protest.
Earlier, the emergency ward of Lahore’s Services Hospital was shut down after a clash between Young Doctors Association (YDA) and anti-corruption officials.
According to a YDA spokesman, the anti-corruption officials tortured vice-president of the association, Dr Atif, at the emergency ward of the Services Hospital. The spokesman further said that the YDA shut down the emergency ward after the incident.
The young doctors blamed that the anti-corruption officials were carrying no arrest warrant or any identity card and also tried to take Dr Atif with them.
On the other hand, an anti-corruption department spokesman informed that there are cases against Dr Atif and Dr Salman under Anti-Corruption Act and they went to the hospital to perform their legal duty.
Talking to the media after the clash, the YDA spokesman said that they would announce their future line of action on Tuesday evening. However, they announced that OPD at all government hospitals across the province will remain close.
