DMC issues notice to 9 doctors, 2 nurses of Max Shalimar Bagh in infant death case

New Delhi, Dec 23: Delhi Medical Council has issued notice to nine doctors and two nurses of Max Hospital, Shalimar Bagh in the case relating to declaring dead a new born who was alive and sought a reply from them in the matter within 15 days. 

Talking to UNI, Delhi Medical Council secretary Girish Tyagi said that the notice was issued on December 20. 
A baby and his twin sister who were prematurely born at the Shalimar Bagh hospital on November 30 were declared stillborn by doctors. However, when the parents were on their way to a crematorium, they found that the boy was still alive, and rushed him to another hospital. The baby died later at a private nursing home.
The parents also alleged that Max Hospital had handed the babies to them in a plastic bag. 
A panel set up by the Delhi government found that the hospital did not conduct an electrocardiography test to check whether the babies were alive. The family of the infants have demanded a CBI inquiry on December 21. The demand came a day after an appellate authority stayed a government order that had cancelled the hospital’s licence on December 8. The hospital resumed operations on December 20. UNI
