LAHORE: Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has condemned the brutal attack on Punjab Institute of Cardiology by armed lawyers that claimed lives of four patients. In a statement Wednesday, PMA Central Secretary General Dr SM Qaisar Sajjad said the lawyers entered the operation theatres where open heart surgery was taking place and damaged everything. They also broke into the ICU and CCU, tortured doctors, paramedics and attendants, drip sets and oxygen tubes of the admitted patients were thrown away. Doctors, paramedics and attendants escaped from the crime scene for safety. “This lawlessness is shameful for the government. We have been raising our voice for years for the security of doctors and paramedics but our rulers never heard us,” he added. PMA demands government arrest the culprits and bring them to book. We also demand to immediately take appropriate steps for hospital’s security,” he further added.
