Delhi govt cancels licence of Delhi’s Shalimar Bagh Max Hospital

According to the health minister of Delhi, a show cause notice was also served to the hospital on November 22 for not treating poor patients

The licence of Max Hospital Shalimar Bagh has been cancelled due to the negligence shown in the case of a newborn baby being erroneously declared dead, Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said.

Jain recently said that strict action would be taken against city-based private Max Hospital and its licence would be cancelled if required after the hospital declared dead a live baby.

“When we came to know about negligence on the part of the hospital, we ordered an enquiry into the same. And I want to assure all that if they don’t work properly, we will cancel the licence of the hospital,” Jain said.

Jain also said that a show cause notice was served to the hospital on November 22 for not treating poor patients.
