Case filed against city clinic for irregularities
Staff Correspondent
A mobile court filed a case against Medi-stopes Clinic at the Elephant road in the city, as it failed to show certificate of the Department of Health and trade license from the City Corporation. The court led by Metropolitan Magistrate Rokon Ud-Doula found that the clinic does not have any ambulance of it's own, lacks paramedic technician for pathological test and date of storing oxygen in the oxygen cylinders is not written on it. The court found that the pathological tests are done by the nurses, which is illegal and very risky for pregnant women. The court filed a case against the clinic and ordered three high officials of the clinic Dr Yasmin S Ahmed, Dr Mohammed Morshed Alam and Dr Israt Choudhury to produce all the necessary documents by 10:00am today. The court went to warehouse of Bushra Enterprise at Gulshan Shopping complex at Gulshan-1. The court earlier had sealed this warehouse for allegedly storing and marketing date expired milk powder. It could not inspect the inside of the warehouse as it had failed to break the heavy lock and other security system. The court had issued warrant against the two owners Lokman Hossain and Faruque and ordered them to appear before the court by February 25. As they did not appear, the court conducted the drive yesterday. It was convinced that locks and seal stamps put by the court were broken by the owners to shift illegal goods from it. It ordered the Gulshan Police Station to file theft case against the owners and arrested an employee Mojammel Haque, who was fined Tk 1 lakh or in default one-year imprisonment.
