Three more people died in Lahore on Sunday after consuming contaminated medicines provided by the PIC, increasing the death toll to 135.
The medicine – IsoTab – was recently found to have a large amount of anti-malarial causing more and more heart patients deaths.
Moreover, the Young Doctors’ Association (YDA) claimed that it did not let new Medical Superintendent of Punjab Institute of Cardiology Dr Muhammad Javed to take charge of his office in PIC.
The young doctors said that the Punjab government had assured them of not taking action against any doctor until the findings of the judicial inquiry fixed the responsibility of deaths on a doctor from the PIC.
Reportedly, on Saturday, Dr Javed, came to the PIC to take charge as the new MS but had no choice but to leave.
“We didn’t misbehave with Dr Javed. We just told him that he should go back to the health secretary’s office and inform him that the YDA did not let him assume charge of his new responsibilities,” said a spokesman of YDA.
