According to the report of The Tribune GMC principal, Prof Samia Rasheed said “that they have suspended the doctor concerned,” told The Tribune. The meeting also discussed the steps needed to prevent such incidents. A protocol was developed for dealing with referrals from peripheral hospitals.
In its report to the GMC principal, the inquiry committee headed by its chairperson Prof Farhat Jabeen has, however, noted that the doctor on duty had sent the patient for further investigation and ultrasound (USG) and the “doctor with her clinical assessment and USG findings did not anticipate a precipitate delivery” as the lady after leaving the hospital delivered on road.
The report notes that USG findings were suggestive of a 34-week baby with breech presentation. “The doctor with her clinical examination/USG findings did not anticipate precipitate delivery in her, although the doctor went against the SOP for referral by not admitting the patient,” reads the report.
