DMCH outdoor services suspended

MNA National Desk: The doctors and staff of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on Tuesday shut all medical services of the outdoor unit following an alleged attack on some doctors by the angry relatives of a patient who died at the hospital on 29 October.

Suspending the service around 9:15am, the protesting doctors formed a human-chain in front of the outdoor unit demanding realisation of their five-point demand.

The protesters demanded punishment of assaulters and security of the doctors. The doctors also demanded deployment of skilled law enforcing force along with the Ansar members at the hospital.

Following death of a patient Nawshad, the relatives of the deceased locked into an altercation with some physicians alleging that he died of wrong treatment.

At one stage, the angry relatives attacked doctors, nurses, officials and Ansar members, leaving two physicians and three Ansar men injured.
