DC Ibrahim warns of suspending licences of hospitals involved in post-delivery deaths

Published On : 13 May 2016


Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada district deputy commissioner, A B Ibrahim, instructed the concerned to suspend licences of hospitals which do not furnish satisfactory explanations towards deaths of women during delivery, and of doctors whose negligence is established. The cases of deaths of women during childbirth is on the increase in different hospitals of the district.

He noted with regret that the district health officer does nothing other than serving notices on hospitals and doctors concerning deaths of women during delivery. Normally, the hospitals do not respond to these notices, and no one questions them about this reluctance. He felt that these people do not seem to be afraid of legal ramifications of inaction, and hence asked the health officers to register notices under section 307 against the doctors who are prima facie found to be negligent.

The deputy commissioner took to task district health and family welfare officer and child welfare officials, seeking to know why no action was taken even when negligence of doctors was clearly mentioned as the reason during investigation. "

He said that in all the 22 cases of deaths of mothers during delivery in the district during the year 2015-16, evasive replies were furnished, and the district health officer did not conduct proper investigation, nor was the reason for the deaths pinpointed. Observing that in most of the cases deaths seemed to have occurred on account of failure to get treatment on time, he directed the health department to tackle this issue in all seriousness.
