Sishu Bhawan doctor booked after child dies
CUTTACK: A woman on Sunday lodged a complaint against a doctor of Sishu Bhawan for allegedly referring her son to a private hospital, where he succumbed post-surgery.
Basing on the complaint of Sujata Nayak (26), a resident of Fasi village in Dhenkanal, police have registered a case against the doctor. As per Nayak, she and her husband Ramesh Chandra Nayak had got their oneand-a-half-year-old son admitted to Sishu Bhawan for treatment on May 28.
However, the doctor allegedly told them that their son was suffering from hernia and required immediate surgery. “After knowing that we had the government health insurance card, the doctor said it was not possible to conduct my son’s surgery at Sishu Bhawan, and referred us to a private hospital at Chandni Chowk,” Nayak stated in her complaint.
