SIALKOT -A family has protested against the negligence of paramedics and nurses who allegedly took lives of a pregnant woman and her to-be born child at Chawinda Rural Health Centre (RHC) due to unavailability of doctors at that time.
Mohsin Ali from village Uddowali, Pasrur tehsil told newsmen at Chawinda that he took his wife Sonia Bibi (26) to RHC Chawinda early Friday morning for delivery. He said that some junior and untrained nurses dealt her wife in absence of a doctor, and mishandled the delivery case.
He alleged that the nurses were untrained as they could not deal her wife properly. He added that the nurses showed slackness due to which her to-be born child died. Later, when the situation became critical, the nurses left the woman unattended asking her family to take her to Govt Allama Iqbal Memorial teaching Hospital for treatment. But Sonia died a few yards away from the building of RHC Chawinda due to her uncontrolled bleeding.
The grieved family claimed that lack of maternity facilities, non-availability of doctors and alleged slackness of junior nurses at RHC Chawinda caused their death.
The grieved family expressed grave concern over the nasty incident. The family urged the higher authorities to take serious note of the incident.
When contacted, Dr Javaid Gill, Incharge of RHC Chawinda, told the newsmen that nurses and paramedics kept him unaware of the tragic incident. Meanwhile, taking very serious note, the deputy commissioner ordered probe into the matter. He appointed Dr Javaid Warraich, CEO of Sialkot District Health Authority, as an inquiry officer. The DC said that all the responsible officials would be brought to task.
