SRINAGAR, Feb 24: High Court today observed that why the Government has not taken into consideration the enquiry report about infant deaths in G B Pant hospital.
The Inquiry ordered by the State Government against the former Medical Superintendent (MS) of Kashmir valley’s only paediatric hospital, G B Pant hospital, Dr Javed Ahmad Chowdhary, after last year’s furore over “high child mortality rate at the hospital during his tenure”, had exonerated him.
While exonerating Dr Chowdhary, the inquiry report had found lack of proper coordination between the faculty members and different offices of the GMC Srinagar and its Associated Hospitals.
The Government had ordered inquiry (Vide Govt Order No. 16 GAD of 2013 dated 15-02-2013) early this year and appointed Bipul Pathak as the inquiry officer to inquire charges against Dr Chowdhary and other persons. Dr Chowwdhary took over as MS of the hospital on January 17, 2012 and was attached by the government on May 17, 2012 after furore over the high mortality rate at the hospital.
