The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notice to the Health and Family Welfare Minister Secretary over death of a woman due to wrong injection.
Acting on a petition filed by rights campaigner Sangita Swain the commission directed the Secretary to submit an action-taken report (ATR) in four weeks. According to the petitioner, one Shantilata Das died at Bhadrak DHH as the doctors administered wrong injection on her after Caesarean operation.
The petitioner prayed the commission to take criminal/disciplinary action against the medical authorities, besides ensuring a compensation of Rs20 lakh to the kin of the deceased.
