IN the wake of the deadly neonatal hospital fire, L-G VK Saxena on Tuesday ordered a comprehensive anti-corruption probe (ACB) into the registration and regulatory management of all private nursing homes in the city.
In his note to the chief secretary, the L-G said, "The recent fire incident at Baby Care Centre at Vivek Vihar, which left seven newly-born babies dead has left everyone shocked and dismayed." Saxena added that it was "heart-rending" that parents belonging to lower income groups "were being duped" by this nursing home which was operating without a valid registration.
He said the incident, which claimed the lives of six newborns, has brought out the "sheer mismanagement, criminal neglect and connivance of officials of the health department" in granting and renewing registrations of nursing homes.
