Another medical negligence complaint against Apollo Gleneagles

The newly set-up West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission (WBCERC) will take up the matter if the baby's family lodge a complaint with it, Satpaty said.

"If the family members of the baby lodge a complaint to the Commission it will take up the matter," he said.

Describing the death of the baby as "extremely unfortunate", Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals today said that a committee will probe into the incident.

"We offer deepest condolences to the family of the child and regret that despite our best efforts the child could not be saved. As per our administrative protocol, a 3 member medical committee and submit its report," CEO Dr Rana Dasgupta said.

The hospital had been under the scanner for medical negligence and malpractices following the death of a patient in February and Apollo Group's Managing Director Preetha Reddy, who met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after the incident, had admitted to lapses in the hospital's healthcare delivery in the past few months.
