New Delhi, December 08: The Delhi government cancelled the license of Max Hospital’s Shalimar Bagh unit after a premature baby was wrongly declared dead last week. The baby died on Thursday at a nursing home in Pitampura after battling for life for nearly a week.
A panel formed by the Delhi government to look into the case found the hospital administration guilty of not following prescribed medical norms in dealing with newborn infants.
“We have cancelled the license of Max Hospital Shalimar Bagh, the negligence in the newborn death case was unacceptable,” Delhi health minister Satyendra Jainsaid on Friday.
