Stillborn delivery by minor rape survivor outside CHC: DM asks DG medical health to take action over laxity
Hindustan TimesDistrict magistrate Deepak Meena has written to director general, Uttar Pradesh, to take action against the errant doctor and nursing staff of community health centre, Sardhana in the district where a teenage rape victim delivered a stillborn baby in the open on Friday due to the laxity of the medical staff. Chief medical officer Dr Akhilesh Mohan has attached the doctor of Sardhana CHC Dr Sarit Tomar to district headquarters and the nurse who was on duty at the time of incident to other CHC of the district after a committee formed to probe the incident submitted its report to the DM. The CMO admitted that the committee formed to probe the issue must have found some laxity in dealing with the case, and therefore the DM has written a letter to DG, medical and health for initiating action against the errant staff who failed to discharge their duties properly. Earlier, the DM had formed a three-member committee comprising ADM finance Suryakant Tripathi, additional city magistrate Rashmi Baranwal and additional chief medical officer Dr Praveen Gautam and directed them to submit their report within two days.
