Parents of deceased child file complaint against Max Hospital
Family of Jihan Sarwar, who supposedly died because of wrong treatment, lodged a written allegation of negligence and maltreatment for the death of their child to the civil surgeon of Chattogram district.
The written complainant was submitted with civil surgeon’s office yesterday.
Mohsena Akther Jhorna, mother of the deceased, claimed that her unwell one-year-old was admitted at Max Hospital on November 17.
“My child was taken to NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) later where we felt helpless due to the inefficiency of nurses and inexperienced staff of the unit,” the written statement said.
The medicine administered by doctors was supposed to be given by machine slowly, but the nurse injected it into the baby’s body -- leading to his death, she alleged.
Hospital authorities did not let them see the report, driving the parents to think that something was wrong, the statement further said, adding that the file where the treatment history was documented was not made available.
Jhorna sought exemplary punishment for those responsible.
Civil surgeon of Chattogram Sheikh Fazle Rabbi said they have formed a three-member committee to look into it.
