The Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commissions (MPHRC) taking cognisance over the incident of hours of delay in providing treatment to patients in Hamidia Hospital of Bhopal sought detailed report from the hospital superintendent.
The Commission has taken cognizance over not providing treatment for over nine hours to a patient from Sagar in the Hamidia Hospital of the state capital.
Notably, Sagar resident Rajkumar carrying his injured wife reached the Hamidia Hospital at 2 am where the on duty doctor told him to get her CT Scan done. As the CT scan facility is not availsble in the night that is why it could not be done in the night so Rajkumar waited for it to be done till the morning by keeping his injured wife on stretcher. In the morning at 9 am when he got the CT Scan done he reached the emergency ward with its report where he was told to go to Ortho Ward and from Ortho ward he was again advised to go to surgical ward. And while wandering between one ward to another time passed and at 11 am he was told to took back the patient to home. On that he told the doctors that the condition of his wife is very serious then only the doctors admitted her in the hospital.
The Commission has considered the incidence as very serious and for the negligible attitude of the doctors and hospital staff sought report from the superintendent of the Hamidia Hospital.
