Lalla Ded Hospital Video Sparks Probe After Doctor Films Inside OT; Health Dept Orders 24-Hour Inquiry

A video recorded by a doctor inside Lalla Ded Hospital, a maternity hospital in Srinagar, has prompted the Jammu and Kashmir health authorities to initiate a formal investigation.

The undated video, which surfaced on Wednesday, shows a doctor walking through restricted areas of the hospital while filming himself and colleagues.

The doctor is seen entering the labor room and later the operation theater, where a surgical procedure is ongoing. “We went to the labour room, there was nothing, so we are going to the OT,” the doctor is heard saying in the video before turning the camera toward the operating table.

Following the circulation of the video on social media platforms, the Health Department constituted an Enquiry Committee to investigate the matter.According to an official statement, the committee includes medical and IT experts and has been directed to submit its report within 24 hours.

Officials stated that appropriate disciplinary action will follow based on the committee’s findings.This development comes days after a strike by resident doctors at SMHS Hospital led to the suspension of emergency services, bringing focus to ongoing tensions within the healthcare sector in the region.(KNS).
