A day after a baby died on the way to a Delhi hospital as the civil hospital ambulance ferrying him ran out of fuel, the authorities here have constituted a high-level committee to probe the incident.
Gurugram Civil Surgeon Pushpa Bishnoi constituted the probe.
“The matter is under investigation by a high-level committee and action will be taken after it submits its report,” said Kanta Goyal, the principal medical officer of Gurgaon Civil Hospital.
Three-month-old Avel was referred by the civil hospital for specialised treatment to Safdarjung Hospital in south Delhi at 11 a.m. on Thursday.
Vehicle developed snag
He was on basic life support but the ambulance ran out of fuel and developed some snag. The baby died on the way to the hospital.
The Gurugram Health Department has 16 ambulances for two civil hospitals catering to over 25 lakh people and all of them are old and have run more than 2 lakh km.
Dr. Goyal said the ambulances are serviced regularly.
