Taking cognisance of Mail Today’s report, the health secretary has asked Lok Nayak hospital to submit its report on how a stranger was allowed inside the operation theatre of the hospital by December 14.
“We have constituted a committee to investigate the matter. The committee will submit its report on December 14. We have received orders from the health secretary to find out the reason for the lapse,” Dr YK Sarin, medical superintendent of Lok Nayak hospital told Mail Today.
Mail Today on December 3 had reported how a private healthcare firm supplier, wearing an apron and a mask, was allowed inside an operation theatre (OT) in one of the biggest hospitals run by the Delhi government.
No non-medical staff is allowed inside an OT to ensure patients’ privacy and safety. Representatives of healthcare firms, who are always out to strike shady deals, are legally not allowed to even enter a hospital premises.
The ‘stranger’ was caught at the Lok Nayak Hospital in central Delhi as part of a sting operation conducted on the orders of officials of Delhi’s health department.
The person was seen trying to talk to doctors, who were performing a surgery. He is also seen trying to peep onto the surgery table while a patient is being operated upon.
