Kashmir Health Workers Suspended Following Viral Video of Dog in Emergency Room
Bengaluru: Holding a gynaecologist responsible for the death of two women following a C-section surgery, the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Karnataka suspended her from the position at the community health centre in Moka, Ballari district due to an alleged lapse in treatment.
The decision was made in response to the deaths of two women following surgery performed by the gynaecologist, with the committee report prima facie attributing their deaths due to failure in treatment and negligence.
As a result, she faced suspension while awaiting disciplinary measures for her alleged lack of responsibility, failure to fulfil her duties, inadequate supervision, and failure to submit timely reports regarding the deaths of the two women.
An order issued by D Randeep on Monday placed the gynaecologist on suspension under rule 10 of the Karnataka Civil Service (Classification Control and Appeal) Rules 1957 and issued a directive that the gynaecologist would be entitled to a subsistence allowance and would need approval from competent authorities to leave the district during the suspension period.
