CMHO Dr Manish Sharma said that all the documents related to the treatment of the deceased patient have been sought from the hospital management. In case of negligence in the treatment, non-response to notice or unsatisfactory response, action will be taken as per the provisions of the Nursing Home and Clinic Establishment Act, he added.
