Chhattisgarh: 3 health personnel suspended, health officer shifted
Raipur: Three health personnel were suspended while a health officer was shifted in connection with the incident of women taking ill after sterilisation surgery in government held camps in Bilaspur district.
"Bilaspur Block Medical Officer (BMO) Nandraj Kanwar has been removed for apathy in controlling his staff. PK Ghosh will be the in-charge BMO in his place," Director, Health and Family Welfare RR Sahni said in a statement late this evening.
Besides, operation theatre attendant and two health workers were suspended for negligence in follow up of the women who had undergone surgery, it said.
Both villages fall under Masturi development block of the district.
"Of them, 10 are completely fine while one woman -- Yashoda Bai Kaiwarth of Lavar village, who had complained of discharge (of serum from wounds) was kept under observation at Masturi community health centre (CHC). But she is also normal and out of danger," he added.
