LUCKNOW: A doctor posted at Jalaun community healthcare centre(CHC) was suspended on Sunday for negligence on duty by the state government. The doctor, Dr Uday Kumar, was allegedly performing duty under the influence of alcohol and was also referring patients to private pathology labs.
The incident came to light after the death of a 26-year-old patient, Shrilal, who was admitted to the Jalaun CHC with deteriorated health but Dr Kumar advised him to get a blood test done from a private pathology lab instead of the hospital lab. While going to a private lab to give a sample on the third day, he died in a way. Attendants complained with Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak who ordered a probe.
