Gurgaon | Friday | 20th April, 2018

Summary:

But as far as we are concerned, the medical negligence board will conduct its inquiries on negligence complaints,” Dr Rajora told TOI later. “Private hospital doctors were against any arrest in medical negligence cases. We are highly disturbed with the way the private hospital doctors are being treated by the police.”Gurgaon’s chief medical officer Dr BK Rajora and principal medical officer Dr Pradeep Sharma were also present in the meeting. We try to give hope to critically ill patients and it is not possible to provide that hope without the trust. They told the deputy commissioner that medical negligence complaints “are affecting the reputation of the fraternity” and private hospital doctors are being increasingly portrayed as “criminals” who would not think twice about inflating hospital bills.The doctors also urged Singh to ensure details of an investigation against a doctor accused of medical negligence are not leaked to the media..
