In Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, a newborn baby girl died due to the negligence of the hospital management and a nurse. It is alleged that a nurse of the hospital demanded a bribe of Rs 2000. When the relatives of the pregnant woman did not give the money, no one helped her. The woman had to give birth to the baby girl in the bathroom, who died shortly after.
According to the information, Balkishan Adivasi living in Salaiya village brought his pregnant wife to Ishanagar Health Center of Chhatarpur district on Saturday night. When he asked the nurse present in the health center to see his wife, she demanded a bribe of Rs 2000. Balkishan told that he did not have money. When he did not give money, no employee present in the hospital treated his wife. His wife gave birth to a girl in the bathroom. Due to delivery in the bathroom, the girl fell on the floor and suffered serious head injuries, due to which she died. Balkishan says that he is a poor laborer. If he had money, he would have definitely given the bribe.
The family members kept pleading, the nurse remained adamant on her demand for money
Pyari Adivasi told that she had brought her sister-in-law to Ishanagar Health Center. The nurse in the hospital demanded money. We did not have money at that time. We kept pleading, but the nurse was adamant on demanding money. She asked us to leave the hospital. After some time, her sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl in the hospital bathroom itself. Her sister-in-law kept screaming for a long time, but no one helped. Eventually, the baby died.
Family members are adamant for filing FIR in police station
After the incident, the family reached Ishanagar police station. They insisted on registering an FIR against the hospital nurse and other staff in this case. The family says that the girl died due to the negligence of the hospital management. Therefore, everyone should be punished.
Meanwhile, in this entire matter, Chhatarpur district’s CMHO RK Gupta says that he has reached the hospital. The matter is being investigated. Whoever is found guilty in this, strict action will be taken against him.
