Ten Infants Die as Doctors Strike Work, Reports from South Indian City Claim
December 04, 2007 at 12:01 PM
Indian Health News
The story goes that the member of the Andhra Pradesh state legislative assembly (MLA), Asfar Khan, intervened when a quarrel erupted between a relative of his and a doctor at the state-run Niloufer hospital Sunday. As arguments heated up, he and his men assaulted a couple of doctors, it is said.
As the news spread, doctors in the region walked out of their respective hospitals demanding the arrest of Khan. The strike snowballed Monday forcing the police to step in. Eventually he was arrested, but by that time the damage had been done.
While some reports claimed that at least ten children died in the Niloufer hospital, including a four-day-old child - they had developed serious infections, but been left unattended because of the strike, it was stated. But the hospital authorities confirmed only six deaths.
B Mahesh from Yadgirigutta said he was forced to shift his 10-day-old child with a kidney ailment to a private hospital without getting a discharge paper. Twenty-five-year old Parvati from Hayathnagar saw her one-month-old son die in her lap after desperately waiting for a doctor. The hospital recorded it as a "brought dead" case.
