In a statement, YDA JPMC welcomed the recent recruitment of staff for the Emergency Room (ER), Intensive Care Unit (ICU), anaesthesia department, nursing staff and nursing attendants, stating that the move would help reduce the burden on existing employees, improve patient-to-staff ratios and enhance the quality of emergency and critical care services at the hospital.

The doctors’ body called for an immediate and impartial inquiry into all alleged cases of illegal activities, strict action against those found guilty, and full transparency in the investigation process to maintain the trust of both hospital staff and the public.
The association further demanded protection for whistleblowers and employees assisting in uncovering facts, while reaffirming its support for the Executive Director’s administration in efforts aimed at institutional reform and improved patient care.
