Statesman News Service, SILIGURI, Dec.13 : Allegations of a section of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital doctors referring patients to private laboratories for pathology tests have raised questions against the legality of the action. Admitting that the action was grossly illegal, the NBMCH principal Mr Udayan Ganguly has assured to take action about the ‘errant’ doctors. But first he needs proof, he said.
Instances exist when physicians attached with the NBMCH refer patients to various private laboratories. When informed of the development, Dr Ganguly said: “It is an illegal practice. Action would be taken against such doctors if proven.”
