During the inspection, no doctor was present on the hospital premises. The inspection also revealed that, although the hospital was only licensed for OPD, IPD, and general surgery, it was illegally operating maternal wards without the necessary approvals or registered medical professionals.
As per the news reports, the 15-bed facility had two patients admitted at the time of inspection — one had recently given birth, while the other was in the emergency ward. Both patients were reportedly receiving care solely from nursing staff in the absence of qualified doctors.
