Jaipur:

The Rajasthan government on Thursday suspended three resident doctors at a government hospital in the country for negligence after a pregnant woman was denied admission and had to deliver her baby at the hospital gate, officials said.

According to an official statement, Additional Chief Secretary, Medical Education Education Shubhra Singh said that immediately after the matter came to light, the department formed an inquiry committee.

Acting on the committee’s report, three resident doctors of Kanwatia Hospital, Kusum Saini, Neha Rajawat and Manoj, were suspended after being found guilty of “gross negligence and insensitivity”, the statement said.

A show-cause notice was also issued to Kanwatia Hospital director Dr Rajendra Singh Tanwar for alleged negligence in supervision in the case, the statement added.

The incident occurred on Wednesday when the pregnant woman was not taken to hospital. Officials said she felt labor pains as she walked out and was forced to give birth near the hospital’s entrance.
