MP Nurse suffers head injury as portion of OT's roof falls at hospital

Raisen: In a shocking incident, a 32-year-old nursing officer suffered a head injury after a portion of the operation theatre's roof at a government hospital fell on her head in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen district, an official said on Thursday.

The incident took place on Wednesday when the nursing officer, Mamta Bathery, was doing preparations for an operation at the district hospital, its Resident Medical Officer Vinod Singh Parmar told PTI.

The official said they have written letters to the MP Public Works Department (PWD) to hand over the hospital’s new building to them so that the operation theatre can be shifted there.

“As soon as we get the new building, that was built more than one year ago but needs some finishing touches, we will move into it and the OT will also be shifted there,” he added.  

PWD’s project implementation unit divisional engineer Suresh Kumar Mishra said the new building will be handed over to the hospital within 10 days, adding that an order in this connection regard had been issued to the building contractor.
