Friday, 31 July 2020 | PNS | NUAPADA

Jemamani Tahani, a poor woman of Salebhata village in Muribahal block of Balangir district had undergone family planning operation in 2017. She fell sick after a few days of the operation complaining severe abdominal pain. Later on after further checkup, it was found that the doctors of Muribahal CHC had cut her intestine instead of fallopian tube.

Jemamani had lot of health hazards. Human rights activist Dilip Dash had filed a complaint with the NHRC on the matter and the commission had ordered for compensation.

"But the Health Department played game with the order putting forth spurious arguments. Discarding the plea of health department, the NHRC has stood firm on its order and directed the Chief Secretary on July 22 to comply with the order within six weeks and pay Rs 1 lakh as compensation to Jemamani.
