The Chief Justice of Pakistan on Saturday ordered inquiry into the death of a lady doctor during delivery at a private hospital and directed the healthcare commission to constitute an inquiry committee which would submit its report within 10 days.
Expressing concern over the death of a healthy woman after normal delivery, Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar observed that the private hospitals were only minting money from the patients. He said the court would randomly select some famous private hospitals for their forensic audit.
The Chief Justice was told that a complaint had already been lodged with the healthcare commission and investigation was being conducted. The complainant Mian Mujahid contended that his daughter gave birth to a baby boy with normal delivery at the hospital.
However, he said, doctors took his daughter to an operation theatre without disclosing any reason and kept her in operation theatre for 20 hours before she died. The applicant alleged that his daughter lost her life due to negligence of the doctors. He sought action against the doctors and the hospital's management.
