Govt must hold Ad-din hospital management to account to set an example

The hospital denies offering money and says it will appeal the cancellation of its licence

Around half of the patients receiving treatment at Ad-din Medical College Hospital in Dhaka’s Moghbazar left the facility by yesterday evening, a day after the government cancelled the licence of the 700-bed private hospital following the deaths of six newborns there last month.

Shafiqur says cancelling Ad-din’s licence will hurt patients and create uncertainty for medical students

The licence of Ad-din Medical College Hospital, where six newborns tragically died last month, has been cancelled, effectively stripping the 700-bed private hospital of its permit to operate.

DGHS says hospital’s response was “unsatisfactory” and it can no longer admit or treat new patients

In the early hours of May 27, the day before Eid-ul-Azha, six newborns died at the same hospital where they had been born hours before.
