Following the death of three patients with heart blockage earlier this month at Delhi Government-run Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital in the city, an Associate Professor of cardiology, who was working on contractual basis, was sacked on orders from the Delhi Secretariat.
According to a senior official, an action against the doctor was initiated on March 10 before a four-member committee was set up to review the matter.
“The professor, who was working on contractual basis at Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital in east Delhi, was terminated from service after the death of three patients with heart blockage earlier this month on orders from the Delhi Secretariat,” said the official.
