Health Minister Anil Vij on Saturday recommended the suspension of two doctors during a surprise visit to the Civil Hospital in Ambala Cantonment.

Vij suspended the doctors for prescribing medicines to be purchased from outside the hospital.

He also ordered to charge-sheet a doctor and sought explanations from four doctors and a nurse.

Around 1.55 pm, Vij reached the hospital and started interacting with patients. He took OPD cards from patients to whom the doctors had prescribed medicines to be purchased from outside. He sought explanation from the Senior Medical Officer (SMO). After not getting any satisfactory reply, the minister ordered the suspension of Dr Gorav Singla and Dr Ashwini Mudgal of the orthopaedic department.

Dr Vinod Kamboj of the same department was ordered to be charge-sheeted under Rule 8 of the Haryana Civil Services. The minister sought explanations from Dr Kuldeep, psychology department, Dr Rita Kathwal, SMO, Indoor Patient Department, Dr Puja Sharma, general surgeon, Dr Rajesh Goyal, deputed in the emergency ward, and staff nurse Sunita. The minister said that further action would be taken against them after getting their replies.

The Health Minister also found that most of the doctors had left the hospital despite the fact that patients were still sitting in the OPD. He expressed his unhappiness and inquired about the absence of the doctors from SMO Satish Gupta.
