Bhadohi, 13 June (HS): Authorities

in Uttar Pradesh's Bhaodhi district shut an unlawful nursing home and clinic

run by a lady without a recognized medical certification, authorities said on

Friday. A case has been filed against the suspected practitioner, Sarojini

Jaiswal, who failed to provide a valid medical degree or health department

registration during the inspection, they added. According to Chief Medical

Officer (CMO) Santosh Kumar Chak, after receiving a complaint, Dr. Ashutosh

Kumar Pandey, Superintendent of the Community Health Centre, examined the

facility at Doctor Colony in the Gopiganj region. Chak added that the complaint

claimed that certain touts were sending pregnant women from the government

hospital to Sarojini Jaiswal's nursing home, which is just opposite the Community

Health Centre, for births.

The role of government workers in

the scheme is also being scrutinized, and anyone found guilty would face heavy

penalties, he stressed. Gopaiganj Station House Officer Amit Kumar Singh stated

that the medical institution was shut following an inspection, and a case was

filed against Jaiswal based on Superintendent Pandey's allegation. The officer

stated that further inquiry is underway.
