The strike, which began following an alleged physical assault on two female doctors by attendants of a deceased patient on Wednesday, had severely affected healthcare delivery, including Out-Patient Department (OPD), inpatient care, and several critical services.

Emergency services were only partially operational, managed by senior doctors and limited medical staff.

According to KNO, the decision to end the protest came after successful negotiations between the hospital administration and representatives of the protesting doctors.

According to officials, the woman accused of assaulting the doctors has been taken into custody and a formal case has been registered against those involved.
