A video of the incident, which went viral on Tuesday, sparked an outrage across the country.
The Garba was performed at the newly-opened Hemodialysis ward for patients suffering from kidney-related ailments.
The video shows nurses in uniform and other staff in colour dress dancing in a line in the narrow space between hospital beds. The laughter and gaiety of the Garba-performing staff contrasts with the gloomy looking patients all of who look on at the odd spectacle meekly.
As the video was widely condemned as a show of insensitivity the hospital authorities promised to take action against the errant staff. Gujarat Health Minister Nitin Patel, who inaugurated the new ICU ward, said the dancing took place after he had left the venue.
He told reporters that he had asked the hospital superintendent to serve show cause notices to those who were involved.
