Buxar Hospital Protest: OPD Services Paralysed After Patient Death
21 Jan
Summary
- Patient died during treatment at Buxar sadar hospital on Tuesday night.
- Family alleges medical negligence, blocks Buxar-Chausa main road.
- Protest caused a five-kilometer traffic jam, halting services.
Outpatient department services at Buxar sadar hospital were severely disrupted on Wednesday following the death of a 27-year-old woman, Hevanti Devi, on Tuesday night. Her family has accused the hospital staff of medical negligence, which prompted them to protest.
Devi was admitted to the hospital around 11 PM Tuesday in critical condition due to severe diarrhea. After preliminary examination and administration of injections, her condition reportedly worsened. Her husband alleged that doctors failed to re-examine her properly and advised her transfer to another facility, which he believes led to her death.
In response to the incident, Devi's family and local residents blocked the Buxar-Chausa main road for several hours. The protest, which involved placing obstructions on the road, caused a five-kilometer traffic jam. Commuters and patients faced significant inconvenience as traffic remained halted.
