After being shut down for ten days, Max Super Specialty in Shalimar Bagh resumed its services on Wednesday. The hospital, whose licence was cancelled by the Directorate of Health Services, has received temporary relief from the court of financial commissioner, officials confirmed.

Max hospital, which had earlier erroneously declared a newborn as dead, was found to be prima facie guilty of gross medical negligence. Its licence on December 8 was then cancelled by DGHS under relevant sections of the Delhi Nursing Home Registration Act. The hospital had moved the court of financial commissioner, the appellate authority, challenging the DGHS order.

“On December 19, a stay order has been issued by the court of financial commissioner. The stay order is appicable till next date of hearing,” an official said. Sources said the court of financial commissioner is the appelate authority that looks into 22 statutory Acts passed by the Delhi government, including the Delhi Nursing Home Registration Act.

“Max Hospital Shalimar Bagh has resumed its operations from today, following a stay order issued by the appropriate Appellate authority to whom an appeal was made. We are fully focussed on providing quality care to all our patients and honouring our commitment of ensuring free treatment to the economically weaker sections of the society.” authorities at Max Hospital said.
