INDORE: A Madhya Pradesh health department protocol officer was suspended when it was discovered that no doctor was assigned to the ambulance in Karnataka governor Thawarchand Gehlot's convoy for medical emergencies, an official said on Saturday.
"The Karnataka Governor's granddaughter, who was with him in the convoy, fell ill near Indore on Friday evening. But there was no doctor in the ambulance," Collector Ashish Singh told.
Gehlot's granddaughter was then admitted to a private hospital. She is now fine after being treated there, he added. "The protocol officer of the health department has been suspended for negligence in putting in place appropriate medical arrangements in the governor's motorcade," Indore's Chief medical and health officer B S Saitya said.
"It was the duty of this protocol officer to mark a doctor on duty in the ambulance attached to the convoy of the important and very important persons," he added.
