KARACHI: Doctors at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) boycotted duties at several departments of the facility to protest “poor security” after a stabbing incident.
A veil-clad man on Sunday stabbed two doctors in the emergency ward as they tried to save a fellow lady doctor from the attacker.
The suspect was caught by the passersby and handed over to the police. The condition of the injured is said to be out of danger.
The JPMC administration announced to register a police complaint against the attacker.
The doctors also staged a sit-in in front of the Najmuddin Auditorium of the hospital.
A delegation of young doctors called on JPMC Executive Director Professor Dr Shahid Rasool and vowed to continue the protest until a robust security regime was introduced at the facility.
