THE UST Hospital is standing by four of its doctors charged recently by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for the death of a patient last year, criticizing the agency for conducting an autopsy without notifying it.

Dalusung died December 31 last year, five days after being confined at the UST Hospital.
