MBBS doctors performing C-sections in private hospitals, PIL Filed in MP High Court seeking Probe
Madhya Pradesh High Court
Bhopal: Raising serious concerns about the practice of unqualified MBBS doctors performing caesarean section deliveries in private hospitals across the state, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the principal bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court at Jabalpur seeking a high-level probe into the matter.
The PIL, driven by Vijay Bajaj and his advocate Aditya Singh sought a thorough investigation into the regular performance of C-section procedures in private hospitals across the state and also requested an inquiry into the reasons why MBBS doctors, rather than qualified gynecologists, are performing these procedures.
The PIL follows a complaint made to the Harda district collector, which claimed that 100 C-section procedures were performed in a private hospital in Harda by MBBS doctors. The complaint was also forwarded to the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council in Bhopal, which subsequently referred the case to the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) of Harda.
