Two die at Gopalganj hospital, DM orders probe after ruckus

Gopalganj, Nov 15 (UNI) Tension gripped the Model Sadar Hospital in Gopalganj district late last night following the deaths of two patients during treatment, triggering protests and vandalism inside the hospital premises.
Angry relatives and their supporters allegedly vandalised the emergency ward and the maternity department, creating panic among patients, attendants and hospital staff.
The family members alleged that doctors on emergency duty were unavailable when the patients were brought to the hospital and that timely medical attention was not provided despite their critical condition.
The deceased were identified as Suman Devi (35), wife of Inarmal Mahto and a resident of Daleya village under Kuchaykot police station, and Dularchand Yadav (44), son of Punkal Rai and a resident of Bishunpura Kothi under Mohammadpur police station.
According to information, Suman Devi had come to her in-law's house on the occasion of Chhath Puja. Her health deteriorated during her stay, following which her family members rushed her to the Sadar Hospital for treatment.
Relatives alleged that both patients were in critical condition but had to wait for medical attention as the doctors assigned to the emergency ward were not available on time. Their condition allegedly deteriorated in the absence of timely treatment, and both subsequently died.
Following the incident, a large police contingent reached the hospital and attempted to pacify the agitated crowd and restore order.
Taking cognisance of the incident, District Magistrate Sameer Saurabh ordered an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the deaths. The investigation will examine the alleged medical negligence, the availability of doctors on emergency duty and the treatment provided to the two patients.
Meanwhile, hospital Deputy Superintendent Dr Shashi Prasad said that the agitated people had vandalised hospital property and that an FIR was being lodged against those involved.
He added that the entire incident was being investigated and that a conclusion would be drawn only after the inquiry is completed.
