AGARTALA, May 12 (TIWN):Amidst the attempts of marginalizing the death rates, due to health dept’s corruption, negligence, wrong recruitment policy another mother at Udaipur had lost her 2 months son at Gomati Dist Hospital. Martyr Amal Sarkar’s mother lost her son in a fight with the terrorists. But who is the killer of this 2 months Soutam Dey due to wrong medical treatment of Tripura Health Service, under the Ministry of Badal Choudhury ? Central Govt’s funds are left unutilized whereas hospitals are running lack of beds, proper infrastructure and full of recruitment corruption. Soutam Dey died due to the full negligence of the nurses, doctors from Wednesday to Thursday long at Gamati Dist Hospital. Reportedly, on Wednesday this 2 months baby was taken by his parents to Gomati Dist Hospital but failed to save his life due to the negligence of doctors there. The poor parents of the deceased alleged that no doctor had checked up the child properly, whereas in the evening Swapna Sinha just as a part of ward round visited there, but without identifying the actual disease, the baby was pushed with saline.

 Moreover, the hospital staffs also failed to give any bed to Soutam and kept him whole night outside. The parents also alleged that before pushing saline Soutam was playing, smiling but when the saline was pushed his health started to down. When the saline had been finished, the patient party asked the nurses and doctors about it, but nobody bothered to listen them. After an hour, the family again requested the nurses to check the baby as it was shivering in fever and crying constantly.

 Seeing his condition serious nurses asked for oxygen, but amidst all these, the infant already passed away.  The relatives busted into tears, gheraoed the nurses, doctors and later brought the baby at National Highway alleging the common people that the Gomati Hospital has killed their child.
