Health Ministry slams Mumbai Hospital over allocation mix-up of DrNB Cardiology seat

Even after being allocated a Doctorate of National Board (DrNB) seat in Cardiology, a Pune-based doctor was denied admission at LH Hiranandani Hospital in Powai after it was revealed that another candidate had already been admitted by the hospital on the same spot during the previous admission round.

During the third or special counselling round, the aspirant was allocated one of the two seats available for DrNB in Cardiology. However, he was shocked to find out that the concerned seat was already filled in the second round.
