A two-day workshop for cooperation at hospital level in crime investigation was organized at Jaiprakash Hospital with members of the Police Department, Health Department, Childline and UNICEF.
Separate meetings with gynecologists to attend all rehabilitation situations better than children, such as during the medical examination of a victim of sexual assault.
Regarding the long time taken in the medical examination and the materials etc. to preserve the fetuses, their points were discussed with the doctors.
Doctors shared that apart from the main hospitals in Bhopal district, there are medical arrangements at the PHCs as well, all the police stations should get medical done at the local PHCs, but this does not happen, due to which the burden on the main hospitals increases.
We have to put this process into practice. In relation to preserving the fetus, the doctors told that they do not have any such box and other means available, for this there is a need to lobby the Chief Medical Officer and at the state level.
It was suggested by Amarjeet and Archana Sahay that such hospitals,PHC, CHC and Civil Hospitals should be identified in the district in coordination with the Chief Medical Officer and a checklist should be prepared of the arrangements required for medical training there so that the arrangements can be made.
There will be an increase in the number and for the victims in the POCSO case, the format described in the Act is used in other hospitals, which is to be used on a large scale. At the end of the meeting, Mrs. Archana Sahay shared the information about the problems faced by the girls coming for MTP with the doctors and put forth her side for better operation of this process.
Concluding the workshop it was decided that under the guidance of senior officers and in collaboration with the officers of the health department, such meetings will be organized from time to time by the police department so that better coordination can be maintained between the two departments.
In the meeting Assistant Commissioner of Police Women's Security Nidhi Saxena, Women's Station Incharge Anjana Dhurve, Station Incharge AJK Akansha Sharma, Urmila Yadav SJPU Incharge, Dr. Shakti, Dr. Abha Gynaecologist, Dr. Shraddha Agarwal, Nursing Staff and Archana Sahay Director Childline, Amarjeet Singh Consultant UNICEF were present.
