MCI team inspects two Mysore hospitals

Mysore, Dec 8 (UNI) Three doctors from the Medical Council of India (MCI) today inspected the facilities at the K R Hospital and Cheluvambha hospital in the city.

While Dr Kannan and Dr Sherval conducted thorough inspection at K R hospital, Dr Asha Shah inspected the Cheluvambha hospital.

The MCI delegates reprimanded the hospital administrators for not displaying the bed numbers in the wards and instructed them to provide teaching area in each ward with a prominent signboard. They also found the central oxygen unit in the intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) out of order and took the hospital administration to task.

The hospital's blood bank was found violating the MCI norms by not possessing the mandatory permit from the Drug Control Authority of India.

The team would submit its report to the MCI on the lapses of the hospital.

The team was amused to be confronted by an in-patient, who presented them with a polythene sachet containing bed bugs, much to the embarrassment of the hospital staff and administration.
