TikTok videos of nurses in newborn care unit goes viral, served notice

Health officials serve showcause notice to four nurses over their viral TikTok videos. The nurses work in the special newborn care unit of a govt hospital in Odisha's Malkangiri. In the videos, the nurses are seen frolicking inside the hospital. The videos were posted from a single TikTok handle of a user named Jyoti Ray. “The nurses admitted to shooting the video clips inside the newborn care unit. In a hospital and that too in a special ward for newborns, such things are prohibited. I am now inquiring into the incident and will recommend necessary penal action to the health secretary,” said Malkangiri chief district medical officer, Dr Ajit Mohanty.
