Jamshedpur, Jan 10: In protest against the death of a 10-year-old girl due to alleged medical negligence, a mob ransacked a nursing home in Adityapur on Tuesday afternoon. The incident took place at Shiva Nursing home in Adityapur this afternoon after the girl, Aradhya Kumari, died because of a complication developed in her fractured leg. The situation was brought under control after a police party rushed to the spot.
According to information, the daughter of Shailesh Jha, who is a resident of Vastu Sai Colony in Adityapur, rushed his daughter for treatment at the Shiva Nursing home on January 4 after her health deteriorated. Aradhya had got her left leg fractured due to an accidental fall.
The doctors at the nursing home plastered the leg and allowed the girl to go home. Despite treatment, infection developed in the leg. Jha brought his daughter to the nursing home. After examining the leg, a doctor at the health hub referred her to Tata Main Hospital. But the girl succumbed to the complications even before being taken to the Tata Main Hospital.
The bereaved family members started protesting accusing the nursing-home management of having neglectfully treated the girl. The police party arrived at the spot after the nursing-home management informed the Adityapur police station.
Officer-on-duty, Adityapur, Mahendra Singh confirmed the incident took place at the Shiva Nursing Home after the alleged medical negligence behind the death of a minor girl.
One of the protesters said a section of doctors has set up nursing homes like the Shiva Nursing home only for making money.
Meanwhile, the agitated protesters also blocked the Kharkai bridge, disrupting the vehicular communication between the steel city with Adityapur, demanding action against the management of the Shiva Nursing home and Dr Abhishek Kumar who had treated the victim girl.
“We have been ill treated by the doctors and the staff. The doctors and management of the nursing home did not diagnose the patient properly, and did not conduct the specific test of the patient,” said one of the kin of the ailing patient.
