Denied ambulance, UP man cycles home carrying dead niece on shoulder
INDIA Updated: Jun 13, 2017 11:17 IST
In another appalling incident, a labourer was forced to carry the body of his 15-year-old son on his shoulder a few months ago after being allegedly denied help by doctors at a government hospital in Uttar Pradesh’s Etawah district.
Poonam’s family was reportedly finding it difficult even to bear the cost of treatment at the district hospital, where she had been admitted since Saturday.
Girl’s father Anant Kumar, a labourer from the district’s Malak Saddi village, had to leave behind his ailing daughter under the care of his brother-in-law Brij Mohan, to look for some odd jobs in Allahabad to arrange some money for the treatment.
“How could I pay the fuel cost? Whatever little money we had was all spent on her treatment,” said Brij Mohan.
After the shocking incident came to the fore, district authorities lodged an FIR against the doctor on duty and the ambulance driver.
Kaushambi district magistrate Manish Kumar Verma said a report on the incident was sent to the government.
District’s chief medical officer Dr SK Upadhyay said an inquiry would be ordered into the matter and action would be initiated against the guilty.
“The chief medical superintendent of the district hospital told me that the government does not provide them fund for the fuel. The day-to-day fuel requirements are being met through contributions from the hospital staff,” he said.
