Bengal hospital gets clean chit in patient denial case

Kolkata: 15th January 2012

The West Bengal government Sunday gave a clean chit to a state-run city hospital following allegations that a pregnant woman died allegedly after she was denied admission there. "As per initial probe reports, prima facie it appears that no pregnant woman seeking admission came to Chittaranjan Seva Sadan (CSS), as such there cannot be any patient refusal," Health Secretary Sanjay Mitra told media persons at the Writers' Buildings state secretariat here. `
