- 'Strange rule' due to fear of mosquitoes: In Nising CHC, the number of victims of mosquito-borne diseases is higher…
A community health center (CHC) in Nising, Karnal, has strange treatment rules going on. Patients admitted to the hospital are sent home at night. They have to return to the hospital again in the morning. The reason for this is shocking that the mosquito population in the hospital is high. Due to which, more staff than patients keep fluttering. In fact, the health department which is responsible for reducing dengue, malaria mosquito infestation is itself suffering from it. There are a lot of mosquitoes here day and night. The doctor tells the patients that dengue can occur if you spend the night in the hospital. This will be a unique hospital in itself, where its own rules operate.
A patient admitted to the record, but being sent home at night without being discharged
- November 9: On reaching the OPD of the hospital in the morning, after seeing all the reports, the doctor advised that it is better not to admit the patient here. Mosquitoes abound here. Patient Bittu said that there is no need to stay here at night. After the doctor's round, the patient goes home.
- November 10: There were no patients when we arrived at 9 am. Then in 15 minutes all the beds were full. Many patients were seen taking glucose and other drugs while sitting without getting a bed. At night, those patients who ran out of glucose bottles used to go home. All three wards were empty at 9 pm.
- On the morning of November 11, the same scene was seen again.
Bhaskar Question: Who is responsible?
- Who is responsible if something happens to the patient at home?
- What if someone commits a crime by enlisting and taking the advantage of going home?
