Medininagar (Jharkhand), May 12 (PTI) Palamu Deputy Commissioner Dilip Pratap Singh Shekhawat on Tuesday directed Medinirai Medical College and Hospital (MMCH) superintendent to submit a probe report into the death of a woman and her newborn child at the hospital on May 11.
MMCH Superintendent Dr Ajoy Kumar told reporters on Tuesday that the deputy commissioner has directed him to submit the probe report within 24 hours and for taking strict action against those found responsible.
He said that further details would be disclosed only after completion of the probe.
Pancham Kumar has alleged that his wife, a resident of Medininagar, arrived at MMCH on Monday with labour pain.
He had alleged that his wife did not receive proper medical treatment and that senior doctors were not present at the hospital at the time. Consequently, both the woman and her unborn child passed away.
Meanwhile, BJP district general secretary Jyoti Pandey, along with other party workers, arrived at MMCH, accompanied by the bereaved family members and demanded that the Superintendent take immediate action regarding the incident.
The MMCH Superintendent said that a five-member inquiry team, comprising Heads of Departments (HODs), has been constituted to investigate the matter. PTI CORR ANB RG
