Action taken against doctors for violating medical ethics

LAHORE: The Punjab government has taken strict action against four doctors for violating the sanctity of the medical profession at Lady Willingdon Hospital, following reports of an alleged video recorded during a surgical procedure. The incident, which occurred during a C-section operation, drew serious concern after the video surfaced on social media. On the directives of the competent authority, four lady doctors have been suspended, while a show-cause notice has been issued to the Head of Department of Gynaecology Unit-I. According to the notice, recording videos during medical procedures is a clear breach of medical ethics and undermines the dignity and privacy of patients. It further stated that such conduct is inconsistent with established standards of patient safety and erodes public trust in healthcare professionals. The authorities have sought explanations from those involved over negligence and failure to fulfil clinical responsibilities. Copyright Business Recorder, 2026
