According to the visuals that went viral on
social media, 32 cataract operations were done at the CHC in Nawabganj
yesterday in torchlight as there was no electricity or power back-up there. The
CMO earlier said the acting district magistrate has ordered a probe into the
matter and the organisation entrusted with the task could be blacklisted, if
found guilty. The relatives of some patients also complained that they were not
provided any bed in spite of extreme cold weather conditions.
“Taking a serious note of the matter,
the Uttar Pradesh government acted promptly and suspended CMO Rajendra Prasad,”
Singh said. Incharge of the community health centre (CHC) at Nawabganj has also
been removed. A report has been sought by the state health department regarding
the entire episode.
