Ahmedabad: Citing clerical mistakes in the records maintained, irregularities in antenatal registers and Form F, the National PC-PNDT Authorities have sealed ultrasound machine of a leading gynaecologist of the city, and the President of Ahmedabad Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society (AOGS), Dr Ramesh Bhatt. The move came after a team comprising five members from National Inspection and Monitoring Committee (NIMC) and five from the health department of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, raided his maternity centre.
Mirror reports that NIMC, decided to conduct a raid at Bhatt's Mamta Maternity & Nursing Home in Khadia after they received certain information that made them suspect Bhatt had been carrying out pre-natal sex determination at his hospital. Following the raid that was conducted yesterday, the authorities sealed his ultrasound machine and suspended his license.
Dr Bhavin Solanki, Medical Officer (Health) AMC informed the Mirror, "The corporation supported the NIMC in carrying out the raid. We found clerical mistakes in the records maintained at the hospital, irregularities in antenatal registers and Form F. The sonography machine has been sealed and Dr Bhatt's sonography licence stands suspended until he is proven innocent by the court under the PCPNDT Act. Apart from sonography, rest of the activities at the hospital and Dr Bhatt's practice can go on as usual."
