Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra has ordered the temporary suspension of licence of Misquith Hospital in Surathkal on the charge that the hospital allowed Ayurvedic doctors administer allopathic treatment and appointed nurses not recognised by the Karnataka Nursing Council. The order was issued in his capacity as the district designated officer under the Karnataka Private Medical Establishment (KPME) Act. In a statement here, Dr. Rajendra said that the hospital was negligent in not testing Appi for COVID-19 when she was admitted in the hospital between March 6 and March 8. Appi died of COVID-19 complications on March 18. A look at the case sheet related to Appi showed the hospital’s negligence in treating Appi, he said. Dr. Rajendra said that the hospital has permitted a clinic that is not registered under the KPME Act, to function on the hospital premises.More Related News
