The hospital representatives will be making their case to the finance commissioner, who will take a final call regarding the matter
The Delhi government will have its first meeting with the Max hospital authorities on Tuesday, after the hospital's license was cancelled over medical negligence charges. The hospital authorities had appealed to the government and other authorities on Wednesday to reconsider their decision.
The hospital representatives will be making their case to the finance commissioner, who will take a final call regarding the matter. The Department of Finance will submit its recommendation to the Department of Health for further consideration.
"The government will once again hear their side of the story. The hospital has approached us and we do not want to do anything against the public. We will strictly monitor the reasons, and if there is any scope, we may reconsider the cancellation order," a senior Delhi government official said.
The Delhi government on Friday cancelled the license of the hospital branch in connection with a case of gross medical negligence. A preliminary report by a panel of doctors to the Delhi government on Tuesday had found the Max guilty of not following norms in dealing with a pair of newborns.
The three-member panel had submitted the report after scrutinising hospital records and meeting with the staff concerned. After the infant's death, investigation into the alleged medical negligence case was transferred from the northwest district police to the Crime Branch.
"In compliance of the cancellation order, planned procedures, including 171 chemotherapies, 63 surgeries, and 241 dialysis sessions had to be cancelled, rescheduled or transferred," the hospital statement read.
The Max hospital in Shalimar Bagh, on a monthly basis, attends to nearly 14,000 patients in the OPD, over 1,600 emergency patients, and an additional 3,000 in the inpatient wards.
