The Uttarakhand government has taken strict action after the tragic death of a one-and-a-half-year-old at Bageshwar District Hospital. Eight officials and employees, including three doctors, have been penalised for serious negligence, mainly due to delays in treatment.
State’s Health Secretary R Rajesh Kumar acted after reviewing the district magistrate’s report and implicated officials’ responses to show-cause notices. Dr Tapan Sharma, the chief medical superintendent, has been dismissed for insensitivity and administrative lapses.
Other disciplinary actions include drivers from the 108 ambulance service and various hospital staff.
This case highlights the health department’s zero-tolerance policy on negligence and its commitment to patient care and sensitivity.
