Communication Assistant, Hathori (Muzaffarpur). Even after the death last year of Sunita Kumari, who was a victim of quacks and chaos about three and a half years ago, the health department remained asleep. Even before justice was done for Sunita's death, another woman like her became a victim of quacks and corruption.
Ragini Devi (32), a resident of Amma, was made to lie down on the table at Hariom Nursing Home located at Hathori Chowk in Hathori police station area, which had no doctor and equipment, for a uterine operation on Friday morning. He was given anesthesia before the operation. Only after this his condition deteriorated.
He was immediately sent to a private hospital located on Bakhri Road. There the doctor declared him dead. After Ragini's death, relatives took her body to Hariom Nursing Home. There was a ruckus by accusing the nursing home operator and quack Hariom Yadav of giving wrong medicines.
Husband Chunni Lal Sah said that Hariom had talked about a lump in Ragini's uterus. Ragini was admitted to Hariom Nursing Home on Thursday evening for her operation. The operation was to take place in the morning. Before that he was given anesthetic and after that his health deteriorated. He could not be saved.
Seeing the commotion increasing, someone informed the police. Police reached the spot. Also, the quack got the local leaders to mediate. It is believed that an agreement was reached only after this. The relative did not lodge a complaint. When Hathori police station incharge Vicky Kumar was asked about this, he said that no complaint has been made about the incident.
Name of son studying MBBS also on the board
There is no name of the operator in the nursing home. People in the area consider Dr. Hari as the director. At the same time, the names of four doctors Dr. Vikas Kumar, Dr. Kundan Kumar, Priyanka Rai and Dr. Krishna Mohan are on its board. Of these, Dr. Krishna Mohan is said to be the son of Hariom.
According to the villagers, Dr. Krishna Mohan is currently studying MBBS from Sasaram Medical College. His name has been put on the board. Apart from this, the names of the doctors on the board are just for show. It is not even registered.
Many questions are being raised due to the operator absconding after the incident. When the police station chief was questioned about this, many things came to light after the incident. The situation will become clear after further investigation.
Games in the district in the name of investigation
Inspection of nursing homes and hospitals continues in the district. In these investigations, information about nursing homes or hospitals running without registration and doctors is not available.
After such an incident, the department puts the matter on hold by calling for investigation. After all, the question is being raised as to how many women like Sunita, Ragini...will continue to become victims of quacks.
The nursing home will be examined by the medical officer of Bochahan PHC. Only after this will it be clear how the nursing home was running. Further action will be taken after the report. -Dr. Ajay Kumar, Civil Surgeon
