JPMC doctors protest against HoD

KARACHI:

The doctors of Gynaecology Ward of Jinnah Hospital staged a protest against their head of the department (HoD). Protesters carrying placards and banners, raised slogans against the unethical behaviour of Dr. Nasreen Fatima to register their protest in front of the admin office.

The protesting doctors reported that Dr. Nasreen Fatima shouts at the juniors, leaving the discipline of the hospital affected. The HOD locks female doctors in a room as punishment. The hospital authorities should take notice of the violent behaviour of Dr. Nasreen Fatimah.

The protesting doctors mentioned, if no action is taken to address the issue, they will boycott OPD and emergency department. The doctors revealed many of their colleagues had left their jobs in the past, due to HOD's unjust behaviour.
