Update: 2024-11-22 18:29 GMT

Hisar(The Uttam Hindu): A shocking revelation has surfaced regarding Dr. Vijay, an eye surgeon attached to Hisar Civil Hospital, who performed 44 eye surgeries, but unfortunately was not so itself as no degree in the medical field was completed by him. He was developed as an eye surgeon when he did not complete his postgraduate education and had not cleared the requisite examinations. As a result, the Health Department has banned him from conducting any more surgeries.Severe staff shortages in the eye department of the hospital had resulted in the appointment of Dr. Vijay to conduct surgeries under supervision. But after the transfer of Dr. Jyoti, Dr. Vijay took up complete responsibility and conducted 44 surgeries before the intervention by the National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB).


This has negatively impacted patient care and has caused patients to wait a longer time for essential procedures, such as cataract surgeries. Patients have been forced to seek treatment in private hospitals or Agroha Medical College. The Chief Medical Officer has declared that Dr. Vijay would have to pass his examinations and then will be able to take up his surgical role again.
