News India Live, Digital Desk: A heartbreaking news has come out from Kerala which has raised question marks on the health system and civil security of the entire country. An innocent child died during treatment after being bitten by a stray dog. The most shocking turn in this case came when the doctors were accused of serious negligence in treatment. After the intervention of the court, orders have now been given to register an FIR against 4 doctors of the hospital in this matter.
What is the whole matter? innocent child died
According to the information received, some time ago an innocent child was badly bitten by a stray dog. The family members hurriedly took him to the local government hospital, where he was to be given first aid and rabies vaccination. The family members allege that the doctors present in the hospital did not understand the seriousness of the case and delayed the treatment. The child’s condition gradually deteriorated and he eventually died. After this incident, huge anger is being seen among the local people.
Court’s strict stance: doctors will be punished
After the death of the child, the family took the legal route, pleading for justice. While hearing the case, the concerned court took cognizance of the medical report and circumstances. The court accepted that prima facie there was negligence on the part of the doctors in following the protocol. The court has given strict instructions to the police to immediately register an FIR against the four doctors who were on duty at that time and were responsible for the treatment of the child.
Growing menace of stray dogs in Kerala
The incident has once again brought into limelight the growing problem of stray dogs in Kerala and the health challenges associated with it. There has been a huge increase in the incidents of dog bites in the state in the last few years. Although the government has made claims of running sterilization and vaccination campaigns, innocent lives continue to be lost at the ground level. This case has also raised serious questions on the facilities available for the treatment of ‘rabies’ and the emergency response system of hospitals.
