Jaisalmer: An unfortunate incident of medical negligence in a Primary Health Centre (PHC) at Ramgarh in Jaisalmer brought two male nursing staffs under the scanner of police authority. The PHC has been in target for allegedly mishandling a case of delivery leading to the de-capitation of the baby.
The case concerns 24-year old Deeksha Kanwar, who went to the PHC, Ramgarh for the delivery of her fourth child. The two male nursing staffs attended the case in non-presence of any qualified doctor.
The husband of the patient told Indian Express, "I had taken my wife to the community health centre in Ramgarh on January 6 for delivery. The doctor wasn't present there, and the compounder called another person to help him during the delivery. A little while later, when my wife was in severe pain, they said there were complications and the child won't survive."
It was further alleged that the two nurses tried to hide the result by not informing the family members about the incident and asked them to take the lady to Jaisalmer for further handling of the case.
