On Jan 15, the same bench had granted the director general of health services seven days to submit the report, Advocate Masum said after the hearing. Ayan was subsequently transferred to United Hospital in Gulshan and placed on life support. The case implicated United Medical College Hospital’s anaesthesiologist Syed Sabbir Ahmed, surgeon Tasnuva Mahjabin, an anonymous director and other unidentified employees of the medical college hospital and United Hospital. Shamim alleged the medical college hospital applied total anaesthesia without the family’s permission, while United Hospital barred them from taking Ayan to another hospital. The health secretary, the director general of health services, and other officials were named defendants in the case.
