Two docs suspended for negligence in UP

Two doctors of the Uttar Pradesh Provincial Medical and Health Services UPPMHS were suspended by the state government on Friday for negligence in performing their duties.

Cardiologist T P Singh of the Balrampur Hospital and Dr Sunanda Verma of the Avantibai Female Hospital were suspended following allegations that they misguided a woman to undergo deliverynbsp;at the cardiology department rather than a proper maternity ward.

Soon after the suspension order reached the two hospitals, office bearers of the UPPMHS association opposed it and said if the government does not revoke the ordernbsp;within two days, Lucknow doctors will go on a strike from Monday.
