The IMA says that hospitals and doctors always try their best to help patients, and if there are any problems, there are proper ways to solve them.
They are asking the government to take strict action against the attackers and to make hospitals safe places.
The attack has made other patients scared, and some are leaving the hospital even when doctors say they should stay.
The IMA and the Association of Hospitals are also going to talk to important government officials to ask for help in stopping these kinds of attacks.
