Doctors, clinic director sued
Father of Sakib Hasan, a seventh grader who died after a surgery at Bogra's Dolphin Clinic and Diagnostic Centre on Wednesday, filed a case on Thursday over alleged wrong treatment and negligence at the medical facility.
Sakib's father Abdul Aziz filed the case with Bogra Sadar Police Station around 9:30pm.
The accused are John Mandal, a director of the hospital; Dr AK Pal, who conducted appendectomy (procedure to remove an inflamed appendix) on the boy; Dr Sadekul Islam, anaesthetist; medical assistant Osman Rahman, operation theatre in-charge; medical assistant Sazzad Hossain Mamun; and three unnamed persons.
Kamruzzaman Mia, officer-in-charge (investigation) of the police station, confirmed the development, saying that they were conducting drives to arrest the accused.
Following the death of the boy on Thursday, a mobile court accompanied by the district civil surgeon sealed off the “unregistered” hospital. The authorities of the facility had already fled the premises and evacuated all patients before the court arrived.
