Rainbow Hospital Controversy: Medical Council Summons Doctor Who Allowed YouTuber to Cut Newborn's Umbilical Cord
Chennai: In the latest update regarding the Rainbow Hospital controversy, where a YouTuber entered the operation theatre of a private hospital and cut his newborn's umbilical cord, the Tamil Nadu Medical Council (TNMC) has decided to summon the doctor involved in the case, TNIE has reported.
The officials at the State Medical Council informed the Daily that they sought an explanation from the gynecologist and obstetrician who conducted the caesarean. Action from TNMC comes after they received a complaint from the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services (DMS) about the incident.
Speaking to the Daily, the officials informed that even though the doctor sent a written explanation, she would be summoned in person this week for an explanation.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported DMS recently barred the Chennai-based Rainbow Hospitals from all patient care activities for 10 days for allowing the YouTuber inside the operation theatre and permitting him to cut the umbilical cord of his newborn baby and record it. Later, the YouTuber Mohamed Irfan posted the video of his wife's delivery. Apart from barring the hospital from providing any medical services for ten days except for antenatal care, the authority had also slapped on it a fine of Rs 50,000.
