Agartala: Health service in state’s premiere IGM hospital was hit for third consecutive day on Wednesday as hundreds of people continued their agitation, demanding punishment for doctors following death of two minors allegedly due to wrong medication.

Additional security forces were deployed in the hospital to avert any untoward incident. Director, Health Service Dr S R Debbarma made it clear that the department would not go for any investigation unless hospital superintendent suggests any probe.

Police said they have already seized the prescription and were waiting for confirmation from forensic science report over the death. However, investigation has already been started following complaints lodged by the victims’ families.

“IGM hospital has recorded as many as 20 mysterious infant deaths over past one month and in all the cases the babies died after administration of injections or medicines, which clearly indicate there was something wrong in the treatment,” alleged leader of the opposition Ratan Lal Nath.

Moreover, in most of the hospitals, including IGM and Agartala Government Medical College, no senior or specialist doctors were present and even if any critical patient goes to hospitals they had to go for treatment by untrained doctors or left without medication after sunset. (UNI)
