Ad-din Medical College Hospital has regained its license after it was cancelled following the deaths of six newborns.

Mohammad Mohsin, Joint Secretary of the Health Services Division, confirmed the development.

“The hospital has been granted its license subject to three conditions. It will be allowed to fully resume its operations,” he said.

The three conditions that the hospital must comply with are:

• The provisions of The Medical Practice and Private Clinics and Laboratories (Regulation) Ordinance, 1982 must be fulfilled.
• The recruitment process for doctors and nurses specified in the license must be completed immediately.
• If the hospital fails to comply with the license conditions, the government, through the competent authority, may take legal action at any time.

In an order, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said a three-member investigation committee was formed and directed to submit its report within three working days from July 15, 2026.

As the committee submitted a satisfactory investigation report, the hospital has been granted permission to resume operations.

Six newborns, aged between one and four days, died within a few hours on the morning of May 27 at the hospital, triggering widespread public outrage.

Later, a DGHS investigation committee found clear negligence by the hospital authority, nurses, and staff, as well as the absence of an on-duty physician in the post-operative room, responsible for the deaths of the six newborns.

Following those findings, the hospital’s license was initially cancelled.
