On 28th July, an event was held at MAMC, to mark World Hepatitis Day.

Chief Guest, Sh Narendra Kumar ( Hon'ble Chief Secretary, Delhi) graced the occasion with his presence.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Secretary hailed LNH doctors for successfully tackling the COVID pandemic and rendering selfless service in times of dire need.
He also urged the authorities to send a solid proposal to the city government on augmentation of its facilities, and asserted that he will do his best to turn it into an institution that the country would be proud of. This comes in the backdrop of the under construction, 22 storeyed Maternity Medicine and Advanced Pediatrics block, which is slated to become fully functional by early 2023.

LNJP Hospital’s Medical Director Dr Suresh Kumar said viral hepatitis is a threat to public health leading to one death in every 30 second, globally.
He also shared figures on the number of hepatitis B and C patients who have received treatment at the hospital, and cautioned that tattooing also involves a risk of contracting hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and which is an “emerging problem”.

Mr Singhal had taken the child to the Max hospital on February 5 after the child began showing symptoms of fever, cough, loose stools and running nose. The doctors at the hospital called it simple dysentery and advised the parents to admit the child to the hospital to enable his re-hydration.

However, the father alleged that the next day, a surgeon came to review the child for the first time and based only on a "visual and negligent examination" done from a distance, the surgeon diagnosed the child as suffering from acute A**l Fissure and prescribed a contraindicated drug in loose motions — Movicol — which is a strong laxative used to treat chronic constipation.

However, after the child was administered with Movicol, he began passing uncontrolled excessive urine and his condition worsened, alleged Mr Singhal. He said, "To hoodwink and misguide, several tests [including a painful lumbar puncture test] were performed on the child only for the doctors to pretend that they were doing their best to ascertain the mysterious cause of sudden deterioration despite already having 'exclusive knowledge' in their domain."

The child was allegedly shifted by the hospital to their sister branch Max Super Speciality Hospital Saket in an extremely unstable and shock condition on February 7, 2020, to hide negligence, prevent death at their centre and avoid legal consequences. Further, he alleged that the child died on February 9, 2020, and no satisfactory reason has ever been provided by the hospitals and the doctors involved for the cause. He said that the doctors and the hospitals have "conspired to hide the facts and the truth."

Justice Jasmeet Singh, in an order on July 21, said, "I deem it fit that the complete medical record pertaining to the deceased child may be sent to the Dean, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi to constitute a Medical Board and give their report within a period of six weeks." Justice Singh observed, "In the present case, the son of the petitioner died on February 9, 2020, and to date, after a period of almost two and half years, there is no investigation in the matter for lack of Medical opinion
