Two die for 'medical negligence'

Doctor sent to jail

Star Report
Two patients, including a pregnant woman, died due to alleged negligence of doctors in two separate incidents in Panchagarh and Dinajpur districts on Thursday and yesterday.
A doctor was also sent to jail following a court order over the death of the pregnant woman, while three persons were injured in a scuffle between relatives of a patient and interns at Dinajpur Medical College and Hospital.
Tahera Begum, 20, who was expecting, died at Panchagarh Mother and Child Welfare Centre Thursday evening. She was admitted there with labour pain in the morning, reports ourThakurgaon correspondent.
After admission, she remained unattended by any
doctor till evening. At about 6:00pm, a nurse of the centre pushed an injection to Tahera following instructions of Dr Akh ter Jahan.
After 10 minutes of pushing the injection, she became unconscious. Sensing something wrong, the doctor ordered to shift the patient to Panchagarh Sadar hospital by the ambulance of the centre without saying anything to the patient's attendants.
She was rushed to the sadar hospital where the doctor declared her dead.
As the news spread, patient's relatives and hundreds of agitating people encircled the welfare centre for around two and a half hours demanding arrest and punishment to the doctor responsible.
Later at about 9:00pm, police arrested Dr Jahan following a murder case filed by victim's father-in-law Isahak Ali and sent her to Panchagarh Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court yesterday morning. The court sent Dr Jahan to jail.
Bangladesh Medical Association District unit of Panchagarh started an indefinite work abstention at government hospitals and local clinics in the district protesting the arrest.
In the other incident, Omar Faruk, 24, son of Abdul Zabbar of Bazuriya village under Bochaganj upazila of Dinajpur, died due to alleged negligence of doctors at Dinajpur Medical College and Hospital yesterday afternoon, reports our Dinajpur correspondent.
Faruk was admitted to the
hospital on Thursday evening as he took poison. He died at about 4:30pm yesterday due to the negligence of the doctors, Faruk's relatives alleged.
A scuffle erupted between the relatives and the intern doctors following Faruk's death. At one stage, the doctors beat the relatives severely and confined them in a room of the hospital complex, sources said.
Three relatives of Faruk-Md Shamsul Haque, Badiul Islam and Shahbur Rahman were injured in the clash.
Contacted, Md Shamsul Alam, director of Dinajpur Medical College and Hospital, confirmed the incident and said that the intern doctors of the hospital went on an indefinite strike protesting the assault on them.
