A doctor faced allegations of denying treatment to patients, but the hospital has issued a statement clarifying the circumstances behind the incident.
The medical facility issued a statement after a doctor was publicly accused of refusing to attend to patients. According to the hospital, the allegation stemmed from a misunderstanding of the doctor's actions during a busy shift, and no patient was denied care.
Hospital officials said the doctor was following standard triage protocols, which sometimes require prioritising critical cases over less urgent ones. They added that all patients received appropriate attention and that the claim of refusal was unfounded.
The institution urged the public to rely on official communications for accurate information and warned that misinformation could damage the reputation of healthcare workers.
