Gorakhpur: The district administration on Thursday sealed three diagnostic centres and suspended their licences for medical negligence.
This comes after a couple staged a sit-in demonstration on Wednesday after the woman delivered a child with no limb despite the ultrasound report showing normal body parts.
“On Wednesday, district magistrate Vijyendra Pandiyan ordered sealing of the three diagnostic centres and suspension of their license. On Thursday, ACMO and our team sealed the diagnostic centres Chaparia, Sparsh Imaging centre and Dr Anju Mishra. The CMO office has also taken action against the centres.” Joint magistrate Gaurav Sogarwal said.
“We will make random inspections of diagnostic centres and strict action will be taken against erring centres,” he said.
One Abhishek Pandey, a native of Gola area of district who works in a private company at Piprauli under GIDA police station limit, claimed that the diagnostic centres gave normal reports of his unborn child. But when the child was born on August 15, he had no hands. The couple on Wednesday protested outside the district magistrate’s office.
