Mumbai Hospital Clash: Pathology Labs Fight Over Patients
Imagine two companies that do medical tests, like blood tests, got into a fight inside a hospital.
It all started when a patient went to one company for a test, but the other company took the sample instead.
The first company got angry and there was a fight, with yelling and threats.
The police are now looking into it.
This is happening because some companies try to get patients to use their services, even though the hospital has its own testing services.
The hospital wants to make sure patients get affordable care and aren't pushed to pay extra money for tests outside.
Agents from Care Plus Pathology Lab and Wellness Diagnosis Lab clashed at JJ Hospital.
The altercation involved a dispute over a patient's blood sample.
One lab agent allegedly assaulted another and made threats.
The incident prompted a police investigation after a case was registered.
Hospital policy prohibits staff from referring patients to external diagnostic centers.
