Delhi Medical Council Bars 2 Fortis Shalimar Bagh Doctors from Practising as Super Specialists - Video

The Delhi Medical Council (DMC) has recently ordered two doctors at Fortis Hospital at Shalimar Bagh to refrain from claiming the status of neonatologists and practising as super-specialists.

Writing to the Medical Superintendent of the hospital, the medical council issued this direction after noting that as per the information available with the Council, these two doctors did not have the required medical qualification to be called a specialists.

Back in 2019, these two doctors were accused of medical negligence- allegedly leading to unabated Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy along with "West Syndrome" in a child. Back then, the child's parents had alleged that the treating doctors did not have the required qualifications to practice as super-specialists.

Now, the medical council has informed that as per the information available with it, Dr. Akhilesh Singh is registered with the Delhi Medical Council holding only an MBBS qualification, and the other doctor, Dr. Vivek Jain, is registered with the Council holding MBBS and MRCP qualifications.
