The inquiry report of a missing infant at Benazir Bhutto Hospital has revealed that the incident had taken place due to poor security arrangements at the health delivery facility.
A month ago a woman posing as a BB Hospital staff member had picked an infant from his mother’s bed and walked away.
The departmental inquiry committee headed by Dr Fouzia had attributed the incident to poor security arrangements in the hospital.
The anti-corruption department has already started investigations against a clerk for tempering the inquiry record.
Medical Superintendent BBH Dr Asif Qadir Mir, when contacted, confirmed that action was being taken against persons involved under the PEDA Act, adding that two doctors and nurses had also been served show cause notices in this regard. Despite CCTV footage and camera surveillance in the hospital the woman, who stole the infant baby has not been traced so far.
Hospital administration was of the opinion that the incident had taken place due to slackness of the mother and relatives of the missing infant.
