Parents of a newborn male child of Sundargarh have alleged that due to the negligence of a doctor at Sundargarh District Headquarters Hospital, their child is now battling for life. He is suffering from Meconium Aspiration Syndrome having respiratory problem.
Sources said Sarita Guru, a resident of Sundargarh, had been admitted in the Sundargarh DHH on February 9 for her delivery.
After checking her, a male Obstretician and Gynaecologist, identified as Dr PM Bhitria, who was on duty on the day, had done ultrasound test and told that she was fine. But since Sarita was feeling pain in her belly, she had categorically told the doctor to check her properly.
The doctor prescribed a medicine to Sarita and told that he would see her the next day.
The next day morning, when doctor Bhitria was coming out of operation theatre after conducting an operation, one cousin of Sarita told him that Sarita was not feeling well and was reeling under great pain. But the doctor paid no heed.
