Shamim (Kurigram) Correspondent:
The negligence of Rashedul Kabir, director of Kurigram's Nageswari
Central Clinic and Diagnostic Center and Patna's DMF Akhirul Islam, and
Nageshwari Upazila Health-Complex Medical Officer Dr. Mosa Mahmuda Khatun
Mukta's wrong treatment of the mother and newborn have been alleged. Victims
complain to the administration but are deprived of justice.
Victims and eyewitnesses said that Mahfuja Begum, the pregnant wife of
Belal Hossain of Gangarhat (Dharmapur) Sarkartari village of Kashipur Hounion,
was brought to Nageshwari Central Clinic and Diagnostic Center for cesarean
delivery at approximately 10:00 am last. After arriving at the clinic, the
authorities conducted various tests to scare the patient's parents into having
a quick cesarean. Finally, the patient's family was forced to perform a
caesarean section. Then, on the advice of Nageshwari Central Clinic and
Diagnostic Center Director Rashedul Kabir and Partner DMF Akhirul Islam, the
daughter of homeo doctor Abdul Quader Ali of Madhurhailla village of Nageshwari
municipality, a permanent resident and Nageshwari Upazila Health-Complex
Medical Officer Dr. Mosha Mahmuda Khatun Mukta visited the clinic during office
hours. Ceasar arrived around 10 am. He operated without the necessary equipment
for caesarean operation and due to negligence on the part of the clinic and
wrong decision of the doctor, the death of the expectant mother and newborn
occurred in the operation theatre. The clinic secretly kept the news of the
death from the patient's family and transferred the dead mother and newborn
baby to Kurigram Sadar Hospital in an ambulance. On the way to Kurigram, the
patient's family came to know about the death of the mother and newborn baby
and stood in front of the clinic seeking justice. When there is anger among the
people, they try to compromise the patient's family by hand and foot with a
large sum of money. Then, with the help of the clinic party and brokers, Jor
Purvak completed the burial of the dead mother and the newborn on the same
night.
Rashedul Kabir, director of Nageshwari Central Clinic and Diagnostic
Center, said that the patient's family has been spoken to. The patient's family
completed the burial of the deceased mother and newborn in the night.
