In the wake of a premature baby being wrongly declared dead by a city-based private hospital, Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain on Saturday said if the hospital is found guilty of negligence in the probe, its licence can be cancelled. And, if the hospital is found guilty of medical negligence, then its licence can also be cancelled,” Jain told reporters. This baby boy was one of the prematurely born twins (boy and girl) delivered on the morning of November 30 to Varsha at Max Hospital. Expressing displeasure over the incident, Jain also alleged that “in the name of reforms, private hospitals have been given concessions, and government hospitals been destroyed, deliberately”. He claimed that a lot of influential people are involved with running private hospitals, and so “government hospitals are being ruined, to benefit the private ones”.
