NONGSTOIN, JULY 14: The family members of Dissency Syiem whose still born baby died in her womb while travelling to Shillong for delivery filed an FIR against the Nongstoin Civil hospital for not admitting her in the hospital and instead directed the family to take her to Shillong that resulted in the death of the stillborn in her womb.
The family members of the pregnant woman said that when they went to the Nongstoin Civil hospital to admit Dissency the doctors told them that they cannot admit her for her severe illness of pregnancy but advised them to take her to Shillong for proper child delivery care.
The family also alleged that when they requested the doctors for ambulance they were told that no ambulance was available. The family members said they somehow manage to find a private ambulance and again requested the doctor to send one staff nurse to accompany the pregnant lady to Shillong while travelling but the doctors replied that no staff nurse was available.
Unfortunately while travelling to Shillong Dissency lost her child in her womb.
Thereafter the family of Dissency filed an FIR against the Nongstoin Civil hospital on Monday.- By Our Reporter
This is very shocking and the authorities must take immediate action and the why are Hospitals in the Remote areas and other Districts not having proper delivery care units. Where is all the fund and why is there so much inefficiency for health care. People should not have to suffer such a loss and this attitude of the Government is condemnable and we appreciate the move made by the victim and demand that she gets immediate relief and those responsible should be held accountable..
who is responsible? The govt. Or hospital. Well i would say both. Its the duty of the health minister, health directorate to look into any deficiency in his department and therefore the FIR should extend to them also. The hospital authorities knowing the severeness of the problem should have taken appropriate steps. Perhaps it a high time that these govt authorities be made responsible for such a horrific happening. Perhaps a case of neglect leading to death can be put up to the investgation body.
In remote area Govt n administration should keep experience Dr. Govt n district admistration should not keep the Dr who still learning n don’t have any experienced.
