SHILLONG: Health Minister AL Hek on Monday clarified that allegation leveled against the Ganesh Das Hospital was the result of a misunderstanding between the doctor and the patient.
Expressing astonishment over the allegation that the hospital lacked tools for C-section and its refusal to admit a pregnant patient, he said there are thousands of such patients who visit the hospital and no such complaint had been received before.
“It is not proper to say there are no tools. There is no complaint as such and I am surprised to see the allegation in media reports,” he told reporters adding that Ganesh Das is a state hospital which has adequate facilities for treatment.
It may be mentioned that on Sunday, the FKJGP alleged that the hospital refused to admit a pregnant patient because it lacked some tools to perform the C-section.
However, Medical Superintendent N Wanswett refuted the allegation and said the patient was denied the operation because no sterilised surgical drapes were available at the time because of several other operations performed before.
She said a patient cannot be operated without the sterilised surgical drapes lest the patient gets infected.
