“Since the past, the agency (missions hospital) has been controversial… It’s a serious case, and the place has been controversial, which is why a rigorous investigation is going to be conducted… This matter should not be political on this issue, the focus should be on mitigating the victims and punishing the culprit,” Patel told Ani a day ago.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said on Monday that his government will take strict action on the case.
The Chief Minister also stressed that the state government will not delay action on such cases and directed that the health department should take strict litigation against it if there are other such cases in the state.
Chief Minister Yadav told reporters: “In the incidents exposed by Damoh, our government is taking strict action. Our government will not delay action on such cases. Our government has established its credibility. I instruct that if there are other cases like this, the health department should take strict action against them.”
A FIR was reportedly registered and the person was reportedly working as a doctor at a missionary hospital in Damo area. He was charged with surgery and allegedly killed at least seven patients.
Jitendra Singh Rajput, one of the victim’s relatives, said he took his father to the hospital after experiencing chest pain and the doctor recommended surgery.
“My name is Jitendra Singh Rajput. I took my father to the hospital because he had chest pain. The doctor said it was a heart attack and he needed to operate it. I told them I had no money and they said they could use the Ayushman card.”
“He had surgery and when I met him he told me he was uncomfortable… They said it was fine. Later, they put him on the ventilator
When asked about the body of his father, he said it was not recommended by hospital staff not to do so. “The autopsy didn’t happen because the hospital staff said he died of a heart attack, and there was no need … we did not file any complaints.”
