Chatra Sadar Hospital Doctor Under Scrutiny for Alleged C Section Denial
Medical Negligence
Chatra: The Chatra Sadar Hospital administration came under scrutiny after a 25-year-old woman was allegedly denied a Caesarean section (C-section) procedure despite being in labor. The incident has raised serious concerns about the hospital's patient care.
The woman, identified as a 25-year-old resident of Salaiya Jori village, arrived at the hospital with her husband seeking medical assistance as she was experiencing intense labor pains. However, despite enduring hours of labor, the woman was reportedly informed by the attending physician, that a C-section was not possible at the facility. The doctor allegedly suggested that the family take her to a private hospital for the procedure instead.
The woman's family eventually reached out to Chatra MP Kalicharan Singh, who dispatched his representatives to the hospital. Due to political pressure, the doctors admitted the woman and carried out the surgery. The woman ultimately gave birth to a boy.
In response, district authorities stated that the doctors would be issued a show-cause notice, and one day's salary would be withheld.
