Eight security guards of Ayub Medical Institution (AMI) were injured during a clash with outsiders on Saturday.

The administration of Ayub Medical Institution expressed unwavering solidarity with its security staff following a violent incident. The hospital spokesperson condemned the attack and called for strict legal action against the perpetrators.

The incident unfolded when a group of individuals attempted to illegally enter the hospital premises through the backside via the Nala route. The hospital's security personnel intervened, instructing the intruders to use the designated entry point.
