The Mayo Hospital has sent a complaint against its 35 doctors to the Punjab health department seeking action against them over their refusal to attend to Covid-19 patients.

The action was proposed against the medics of the neurology and the dermatology departments of the hospital. Among them are senior registrars, registrars, medical officers, principal medical officers, postgraduate trainees and house officers. The teaching institute had issued a notification directing them to perform duties when the number of critical patients of Covid-19 at the hospital increased to 110.

The hospital administration has primarily blamed the heads of the two departments for refusing to send their juniors at the time of an emergency. The neurology department is being headed by Prof Dr Ahsan Nauman and dermatology department by Prof Dr Tahir Jamil.
