UP: Viral Video Shows Sterilization In Labour Room, CHC Superintendent removed
FIR
Sitapur: A viral video showing a woman's sterilization procedures being carried out in the labour room at Hargoan Community Health Center in Sitapur went viral on social media, causing widespread outrage and raising serious concerns about medical practices at the facility. In response, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak ordered immediate action.
Taking serious note of the incident, Pathak, also the health minister, instructed the chief medical officer (CMO) of Sitapur to conduct a thorough investigation and implement disciplinary measures.
According to the PTI report, following these instructions, the CMO removed the Community Health Center's superintendent, withholding one month's salary and demanding an explanation within three days.
"Additionally, a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology had their salary withheld for a month, with a request for clarification on their involvement. Both a staff nurse and a ward attendant were transferred from the center, with a month's pay suspended and a request for explanation issued to each," Pathak said in a post on X in Hindi.
