It has become a field day for stray dogs at the isolation ward of the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) here. The intellectual masses and social activists raised their concern over the callousness of the hospital authority over the issue.The matter came to the fore following a video went viral recently in this regard at social media platform.
It was found that not less than four to five stray dogs were taking rest not only under the bed but also on the beds meant for female patients infected with Covid positive.
If sources are to be believed, the isolation ward has been set up in the DHH in order to provide proper care to the patients, who were detected Covid positive. But ironically, it was found that not less than four stray dogs, including two canines, were taking rest under the bed at the female isolation ward. It speaks volume about the mismanagement of Covid treatment of the patients at the DHH, alleged the intellectual masses.
When contacted, CDMO Dr Anita Patnaik said the matter has come to her notice and she has sought an inquiry. Meanwhile, she said she had directed for sanitisation of the ward.
