- Committee to examine negligence as well as set-up or edited video angle to defame Hospital
BUDGAM, Mar 15: In connection with a video that has gone viral on social media regarding alleged negligence at SDH Chadoora, in Budgam district, the Directorate of Health Services Kashmir has ordered an inquiry into the incident to ascertain the fact and take the guilty to task.
As per an official handout issued here, it has been given out that a committee has been constituted that will conduct in-depth analysis of electronic records, CCTV footage, duty rosters and conduct interviews of patients and staff members to ascertain the facts, fix responsibility on any errors of omission or commission, and recommend appropriate necessary action to ensure that such incidents do not recur in the future.
Further it has been made clear that the inquiry committee will also examine the possibility that the video was deliberately set-up or edited to defame a busy Government Hospital by some vested interests who have made earlier attempts to defame Government Hospitals and mislead patients and the public, as happened in the case of SDH Bijbehara and CHC Pattan where orchestrated/fake videos were uploaded on social media.
In such a case the committee will recommend action under the relevant sections of the law against the perpetrators of such nefarious attempts, if any, the statement read.
Directorate of Health Services Kashmir remains steadfast and completely committed to the highest standards of professionalism and will not tolerate any laxity at any level, a statement issued by the DHSK said.
