Doctor suspension for denial of bed to patient: Doctors' body asks Delhi Medical Council for inquiry
New Delhi: Days after a 47-year-old man died after allegedly being denied admission by four hospitals, the Delhi Medical Association (DMA) on Tuesday said the four doctors facing action in the matter have been made "scapegoats" and the "fault was with the system".
DMA president Dr Ashwini Dalmiya called for a probe by the Delhi Medical Council (DMC) into the matter.
Pramod, 47, who was arrested for allegedly molesting a 21-year-old woman in an inebriated state, died of the injuries he suffered after jumping out of a moving police van on January 3, according to police.
He was allegedly denied admission by four government hospitals, including three Delhi government-run facilities, citing unavailability of beds or equipment.
Medical Dialogues team reported that the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced stringent action against four doctors, days after the death of a 47-year-old man, who was allegedly denied treatment at state-run government hospitals.
