West Bengal Clinic Licence Cancelled Over Unauthorized Transfer of USG Machine
The West Bengal Health Department cancelled the licence of Jiban Arogya Ultrasonography and Genetic Clinic in Nodakhali, South 24-Parganas, after it allegedly transferred a USG machine to a Sebaashray medical camp without official permission. The machine, seized by police during an investigation, was reportedly used in violation of regulations, including potential illegal foetal sex determination. Authorities found the clinic unable to produce required documents, prompting an inquiry and licence cancellation amid broader scrutiny of Sebaashray camps.
