Max Hospital in Shalimar bagh has decided to terminate the services of two doctors allegedly involved in the case of a premature baby being wrongly declared dead, the hospital said in a statement issued on Sunday night.

“While the inquiry by the expert group which includes external experts from the IMA is still in process, we have decided to terminate the services of Dr. A.P. Mehta and Dr. Vishal Gupta,” the statement said, adding that the action was taken on the basis of initial discussions with the expert group.

The hospital authorities added: “We wish to clarify that this action should not presuppose finding of any lapse by the expert group and should not be construed to be anything other than an expression of our continued commitment to providing quality healthcare.”
