RAJOURI JUNE 28:--In a surprising development residents of Nowshera town, who on June 12 held protest for the suspension of a doctor (Gynaecologist) posted at SDH Nowshera blaming him for the death of an infant, are now approached Additional DC (ADC) Nowshera for the reinstatement of the doctor.
It is pertinent to mention here that the suspended Gynaecologist Dr Baba Singh is posted as Medical Officer (MO) in SDH Nowshera and was performing 5-6 caesarean and 10-12 normal deliveries besides attending 70-80 patients daily in the OPD.
On June 12, when handling a caesarean case (after misleading information by the patient about the normal movement of the fetus) the baby was found already dead on birth (IUFD).
But the family members blamed the doctor for negligence and staged a protest and later, on the direction of Deputy Commissioner Rajouri, Dr Baba was suspended and was attached to the office of CMO at Rajouri.
Dr Baba Singh was the only Gynaecologist posted in SDH Nowshera and now the patients are suffering a lot in his absence and moreover, no other doctor is willing to perform at SDH Nowshera after Dr Baba’s suspension.
In a letter (request) to ADC Nowshera on June 27, inhabitants of various areas of Nowshera subdivision have admitted that Dr Baba is innocent and a dedicated doctor & was performing with utmost sincerity, punctuality, honesty & for the betterment of patient health care.
They also admitted that the inquiry committee constituted by CMO & led by Dr Suresh Kapahi also confirmed that the baby was already dead in the womb before caesarean & Dr Baba was not guilty and even saved the life of the mother.
About 15 inhabitants of Nowshera and adjoining areas, including female, in a letter to ADC Nowshera have appealed for the reinstatement of Dr Baba at the earliest in the interest of patient health care.
