An investigation has been launched into allegations of medical negligence at Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Government Medical College and Hospital in Nalhar, Nuh. A four-year-old boy was reportedly operated on his healthy right leg, despite the infection being present in his left leg.
The child's father, Arif, filed a complaint detailing that his son was admitted on July 20 with severe swelling and infection in the left leg. Doctors advised surgery, and the father claims he informed the medical team about the correct leg before the procedure.
However, the family discovered the surgery was performed on the wrong leg. Hospital authorities then reportedly took the child back for surgery on the infected left leg. The family is demanding an FIR and departmental action against those responsible for the alleged gross negligence.
