New born dead row: Shalimar Bagh Max Hospital resumes operation

New Delhi, Dec 20: Shalimar Bagh Max Hospital, whose license was cancelled by the Delhi Government on December 8 for wrongly declaring a newborn dead, resumed operations on Wednesday.

After battling for life for six days, the newborn which was wrongly declared 'dead' by the Hospital passed away on December 6 at a hospital in Pitampura.
The Max hospital said it has resumed operation after the Court of Finance Commissioner yesterday put a stay on the December 8 order of the Delhi Government.
'Operations are being resumed following a stay order issued by the appropriate appellate authority to whom an appeal was made,' a statement issued by the hospital said. 
'We are fully focused on providing quality care to all our patients and honouring our commitment of ensuring free treatment to the economically weaker sections of the society,' according to the statement.
The baby was one of the twins who were born prematurely on November 30 at the Max Hospital,
Shalimar Bagh.The hospital authorities handed over the body in a plastic bag.
However, just before cremation, the family noticed there was some movement in 'the body' and to their surprise they discovered that the baby was alive. UNI
