The North East Regional Health Authority (NERHA) has launched a probe into Sunday's fight at St Ann's Bay Hospital in St Ann, which involved a staff member, visitors and members of the hospital's security team.
Videos of the incident went viral on Wednesday afternoon, prompting NERHA to issue a statement on Thursday in which it said the melee occurred at about 5:34 pm on Sunday.
In one of the videos, two women - one said to be a doctor and the other a visitor to the facility - were seen arguing outside the hospital's Accident and Emergency Department. They then began fighting, with other persons trying to defuse the situation. While the dispute was ongoing, security guards and another man were involved in a separate fracas.
