Early Times Report
Anantnag, May 27: In a shocking incident, the Maternity and Child Care Hospital (MCCH) in this South Kashmir district on Tuesday late evening refused to treat a pregnant woman and even shifted her to COVID-19 hospital at Bijbehara.
Reports said that a pregnant woman despite testing negative twice for the Covid-19 was shifted to Sub-District Hospital (SDH) in Bijbehara, designated to cater to pregnant women who reside in Covid-19 red zones.
As per records, Shiraza Jan, wife of Muhammad Amin Sheikh, a resident of Kaint Gund Shangus was referred from Shangus SDH to MCCH in Anantnag late Tuesday evening.
Official sources revealed to Early Times that at about 9:30 PM the doctors at MCCH Anantnag referred her to SDH Bijbehara despite the fact the pregnant woman had developed complications.
“Without any reason the doctors at MCCH Anantnag are shifting pregnant woman to our hospital despite the fact that they know our hospital doesn’t have enough facilities and can’t take care of patients who develop complications,” a doctor at SDH Bijbehara told Early Times.
Certificate (No. Est/BMO/mtn/379 dated 20-05-2020) issued by the Health Department clearly shows that pregnant woman had tested negative for corona virus. Pregnant woman had tested positive for Covid-19 on May 3. She was quarantined and then tested negative twice, on May 14 and May 18, for Covid-19 and accordingly she was discharged.
It is not for the first time that doctors at MCCH Anantnag had shifted a patient to other hospital for treatment. Highly placed sources said that doctors in nexus with a mafia were deliberately pushing poor patients to private nursing homes of Anantnag.
“If you will go through the records of MCCH Anantnag and private nursing homes you will find out the Private Nursing Homes done more LSCS surgeries than MCCH Anantnag during this lockdown,” they said.
The MCCH in Anantnag is already under the scanner over the death of a woman pregnant with twins whose test results for Covid-19 came positive after her death. Another pregnant lady also died at SDH Seer Hamadan and doctors at MCCH Anantnag declared her brought dead; however a video, showing family ferrying body of pregnant women on stretcher outside Maternity Hospital also agitated general public.
In both the cases the district administration had ordered probe, however more than a month has passed but the status of the probes is not known yet. |
