Patient left unattended in Bengal hospital, dies

Patient left unattended in Bengal hospital, diesKolkata, April 9 (IANS) A patient died on Sunday when he was left unattended for a long time at a government hospital in West Bengal's North Dinajpur district, his family said.

Golam Ali was admitted to the Raigunj District Hospital for a respiratory problem.

"When we talked to nurses on duty, they said the hospital does not have oxygen masks. Even after I arranged for a mask, he was not attended to for a long time," Ali's son said.

 

"I urged the nurses to attend to my father as his condition was critical. I almost begged them, but they delayed treatment," he added.

The bereaved family and their sympathisers agitated on the hospital premises after Golam Ali died.

Hospital Superintendent Gautam Mandol said no complaint from the patient's family had been so far received and assured that lapses, if any, on part of the staff will be investigated once the complaint is received.
