In its order DMC/DC/F.14/Comp.877/2013/dated 25th October, 2013, the council noted that the death of a patient occurred due to medical negligence and also found the medical director of the hospital as failing in his duties. 

The council cited Regulation 1.6 of the MCI Code of Ethics Regulations 2002 in its order, which states that every physician should help in safeguarding the profession against admission of those who are in any way deficient in moral character or education. A physician should not employ any attendant in his professional practice who is not registered or who is not enlisted under the medical list in action.The physician should not allow such persons to attend, treat or perform operations upon patients wherever professional discretion or skill is needed.
