Despite the surge in the negligence of the male and female doctors, callous attitude of the staff with patients, careless and apathetic behaviour towards patients in serious condition, the hospital administration could not take measures to resolve the situation. Out of the five cases, one of the cases reached the Punjab Health Care Commission. Finally, the commission sought the MS and doctors with all the records on February 26.

Advocate High Court Shazia Kausar stated that there had been noticeable negligence on the part of the doctors and staffs during the course of treatment before the death of her mother. She will take the matter to a logical conclusion so that no such tragic incident ever occurs with any mother that while a patient is breathing his last, the doctors remain busy in Facebooking and WhatsApping.
It is pertinent here to mention that earlier, the four women who died at the hospital due to negligence of the staff and the doctors included Shakriyal resident, 23 year old Bano Bibi and Anita in gynae ward, Ayesha Bibi in the emergency ward and Kaneez Bibi in the orthopedic ward. The family of the victims alleging negligence on the part of doctors and staff demanded inquiry into the matter. For that purpose, separate inquiry committees had also been formulated but so far, no inquiry report has surfaced.
