: Despite the Government’s recent direction to the authorities of all State-run hospitals not to engage any non-healthcare personnel in assisting treating doctors or paramedics in the process of treatment, a security guard was found administering an injection to a patient at a hospital in Angul district. This came to the fore after a video of the incidence, which took place at District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) on September 7, went viral on social media. A relative of another patient in the hospital had purportedly captured the video. Sources said the patient had visited the hospital after meeting a minor road accident. Later, he was administered a Tetanus shot by a security guard. When asked, Assistant Chief Medical Superintendent Manas Ranjan Biswal said, “We have begun an inquiry into the matter and action will be taken after a thorough probe.” Earlier in August, Health and Family Welfare Department Additional Chief Secretary Pradeepta Kumar Mohapatra directed hospital authorities to ensure that patients visiting facilities are treated only by designated healthcare personnel.
