Delhi: Action against four doctors of Govt-run hospitals over patient death
The Health Department has taken disciplinary action against four doctors from two Delhi government-run hospitals, Lok Nayak Hospital and Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, in connection with the death of a patient who was denied treatment. The patient, Pramod, a 47-year-old man accused of sexual harassment, sustained injuries while attempting to escape from a police vehicle and later died after being denied treatment by four government hospitals.
The Health Department has directed each hospital to terminate the services of a senior resident doctor who was on duty on the night of January 2 and 3. Additionally, the department has recommended the suspension of one senior doctor from each hospital. The four doctors have been found guilty of negligence, and the administrative heads of both hospitals have been instructed to provide explanations for the lapses.
