Relatives of a deceased ransacked a private nursing home here on Sunday night alleging negligence on the part of its authorities in the treatment of the patient.
Although police rushed to the nursing home, by that time the enraged relatives had broken furniture of the hospital. Sahadevkhunta police station IIC Jayant Behera said no compliant was lodged either by the deceased’s family or by the hospital management.
One Naba Kishor Behera of Nandipur in Ranasahi GP under the Chandipur police station, who was suffering from kidney ailments since long, had earlier undergone treatment at a Bhubaneswar-based private hospital. On Sunday when his condition deteriorated, he was brought to the nursing home at Balia for emergency treatment.
On the advice of the duty doctor of the nursing home, he was put on dialysis at around 3.30 pm. By around 7.30 pm, his condition further deteriorated and he succumbed to the illness. His family members alleged that he died as he was not given proper care.
During dialysis no doctor was available in the nursing home. Only a technician was there during the dialysis.
