The newborn of one of the critically ill women died on Thursday
KOLKATA: The West Bengal government on Thursday decided to suspend 12 doctors of the Midnapore Medical College and Hospital for negligence in connection with the death of a woman and 4 others falling ill after childbirth following alleged administration of "expired" intravenous fluid, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said.
Condemning the incident, Banerjee said that her government would offer the family of the deceased woman a compensation of ₹5 lakh and also a government job.
"This is an unfortunate and sentimental incident and our government does not support it. The reports filed by the CID and that by the expert committee are the same. We have found negligence by several doctors, we have decided to suspend 12 doctors," Banerjee told reporters.
