Hyderabad Doctor Suspended for Medical Negligence
August 13, 2007 at 6:36 PM
Indian Health News
In March 2003, Indian diplomat K. Srikar Reddy, posted in Germany, lost his wife Srilatha and his unborn baby during labour in a Hyderabad hospital due to medical negligence.
Reddy, working as consul in the Consulate General of India in Munich, first filed a complaint with the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council, which gave a clean chit to anaesthesiologist L. Sudhakar.
"Then I filed an appeal with the Medical Council of India, which conducted some enquiry and found the accused doctor/hospital guilty of negligence. I have received the copies of MCI's decision by fax," Reddy told IANS in a letter from Munich.
The ethics committee of the MCI found Sudhakar, who worked with the Shalini Maternity Hospital, guilty and last week handed him a three months suspension from the medical fraternity.
"Dr. L. Sudhakar is found to be guilty so far as the professional negligence is concerned in the instant case. Taking this into account, the ethics committee of MCI recommends that his name be struck off from the Indian Medical Registry for a period of three months," the MCI ruled.
In a communiqué to Reddy, MCI said the "decision has been duly approved by the executive committee and general body of the council".
