Ghaziabad: Following the death of a 45-year-old patient, the health department has temporarily suspended the license of Rati Hospital in Loni. The hospital is also under investigation for several regulatory violations.

The action came after the patient’s family filed a complaint alleging negligence. A surprise inspection led by Dr. Davi Lal revealed multiple violations, prompting the department to take immediate steps against the hospital.

Speaking to TOI, Health Department official Dr Davi Lal said the team found several violations at the hospital. "The premises were very unclean, there was no segregation of biomedical waste, and the hygiene of the labour room was not maintained properly," he said.

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.

According to TOI, the hospital was found not to be following prescribed standards, and many discrepancies were identified in their documentation. "Due to this serious negligence, the health department has sealed the operation theatre and labour room of the hospital, and the hospital's licence has been temporarily suspended," the official said.

He also mentioned that all types of medical services would remain closed in the hospital until the investigation was completed, and that the health department had started a detailed and in-depth investigation of the case.

This incident has raised concerns over the regulation and oversight of private hospitals in the district, which currently has 299 registered private healthcare facilities.
