"The woman had a normal delivery. Therefore there was not much stitching work to be done on her. Obstetrics and Gynaecology surgeon Pramod Kumar Nayak had left the OT before the stitching. The sweeper with help of other paramedical staff conducted the stitching," CDMO, Jagainghpur, Binod Behari Mohapatra quoted with reference to the report.
The CDMO had sought a report from the medical officer of the community health centre (CHC), Kujang after the relatives of the woman have raised a complaint.
