11 doctors who were admitted in Muzaffargarh’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital on Tuesday vandalised the hospital’s property and equipment over ‘inadequate healthcare facilities’ after they were tested positive for coronavirus.
Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported that the hospital administration has said the doctors entered the hospital premises and broke the windowpanes and furniture of the hospital. Later, the doctors also entered a residential colony and damaged the property.
The hospital administration then called the police to convince the doctors to leave the colony to save the local citizens from contracting coronavirus.
“The doctors came from a hospital located in DG Khan to demand separate rooms with the protocol here,” the hospital sources said. Due to this reason, DG Khan commissioner was called to control the situation who made arrangements of shifting the doctors back to the DG Khan Hospital.
The administration of Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital said that they have forwarded an inquiry report to secretary health. Moreover, the footage of escaping of young doctors by breaking window glasses has also surfaced through CCTV cameras.
DPO Muzaffargarh Nadeem Abbas confirmed the event and said that the young doctors were sent back to DG Khan for desired medical treatment.
