Subject : Complaint of Smt. Rema Devi against Dr. Praveen Kulshreshtha of Guru
Harkrishan Hospital
The Delhi Medical Council examined a complaint of Smt. Rema Devi r/o. 935,
Sun Light Colony, Hari Nagar Ashram, New Delhi, forwarded by Directorate of Health
Services, alleging medical negligence on the part of Dr. Praveen Kulshreshtha of Guru
Harkrishan Hospital, Gurdwara Bala Sahib Complex, Ring Road, New Delhi, in the
treatment administered to complainant’s husband Shri Lallan Singh Yadav at Guru
Harkrishan Hospital.
On perusal of complaint, reply of Dr. Praveen Kulshreshtha and case papers /
medical records of Guru Harkrishan Hospital, as supplied by Directorate of Health
Services, it is observed that there are no clear cut allegations in the complaint and the
complaint is not supported by the case papers/medical records. Prima facie no case of
medical negligence is made out against Dr. Praveen Kulshreshta of Guru Harkrishan
Hospital. It is, however, observed that the maintenance of case papers / medical records
by Guru Harkrishan Hospital leaves much to be desired. The Hospital authorities are
directed to ensure better record maintaining systems are put in place. Complaint stands
disposed.
