A clash between two factions of the Young Doctors Association (YDA) at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) left three injured while the police have detained several doctors from both the groups.
In the incident two doctors and a security officer were injured during the altercation.
The conflict stemmed from Dr. Yaseen's transfer and a previous incident on April 18, in which family members of a patient assaulted doctors. In response, Dr. Farrukh Rauf's group protested by staging a demonstration in front of the administration block and completely boycotting the OPD.
The protesting doctors rejected assurances from the Sindh Health Department and demanded action against those responsible for the April 18 attack on medical staff.
On the other hand, Dr Ammar Danish's group opted to cooperate with the hospital administration, based on the assurances from the Health Secretary, and resumed OPD services.
The hospital administration appointed Deputy Director and In-charge Adil Samo to oversee the full restoration of the OPDs.
However, attempts to mediate between the two groups led to further clashes.
