The Delhi Government on Friday issued a show-cause notice to Malik Nursing Home, which refused to provide medical treatment and admission to a patient at the casualty.
On Thursday, a 13-year-old patient, Rajat Menon, who was in an unconscious state, was taken to the nursing home in an emergent medical condition where he was denied medical treatment by the doctors.
According to the orders issued by the Delhi Government in 2014, all hospitals must provide immediate medical care without any delay. While issuing a show- cause notice against the nursing home, Delhi Health Secretary Tarun Seem said, “The Malik Nursing Home, has to respond within a month as to why an order of cancellation of registration of your nursing home/hospital should not be issued for refusing emergency medical care to the deceased child.
