Raipur: 06.09.2021
The Chhattisgarh government has ordered an investigation against a surgeon and Mainpat block health officer for performing 101 tubectomies in seven hours at a sterilisation camp held recently.
Surguja chief medical health official Dr Sisodiya said the camp was organised on August 27 at a community health centre in Mainpat. The same day, Dr Jibnus Ekka performed 101 surgeries in seven hours.
Meanwhile, no casualty has been reported and all patients are said to be stable.
The matter came to light as only 30 surgeries are allowed in a day. The health department issued an inquiry order to ascertain the reason for flouting norms of sterilisation camp.
As per Mainpat BDO RS Singh, several women turned up at the camp and urged the surgeon to perform the operation saying they had come from distant villages and can’t travel frequently. He also submitted the consent letter of women claiming that surgeries were performed as per their will. Health officials, claimed it was a government run camp. TNN
