The nursing home was inspected a few days ago
It is being told that a few days ago, Latehar Civil Surgeon Dr. Ashok Kumar had conducted a surprise inspection of the nursing home. Where the information about inspection was given in advance by the health department personnel. For this reason, the operator of the nursing home had made the ultrasound machine disappear, but the printer was recovered. During investigation, it was found that the nursing home is registered under the Clinical Act, but till date not a single MBBS doctor is on duty in that nursing home. The clinical act has been registered fraudulently by merely attaching the certificate of MBBS doctor. Despite this, due to no action being taken till now, the arbitrariness of the hospital management is increasing. Meanwhile, the villagers have also informed Latehar Deputy Commissioner about this incident and demanded action.
