Ad-din Medical College Hospital has received a final extension until Monday to respond to a show-cause notice from the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) concerning the deaths of six newborns. The hospital requested the additional time as the original 72-hour deadline included Friday and Saturday.

The notice questions why the hospital's license should not be revoked following the deaths of six infants, aged one to four days, between May 27 and May 31. The incident sparked public outrage, prompting health authorities to close the post-operative room and establish two investigative committees.

A DGHS investigation committee identified clear negligence by hospital authorities, nurses, and staff, along with the absence of an on-duty physician, as contributing factors to the fatalities. Health Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain disclosed these findings on Thursday, the same day the show-cause notice was issued.
