action of hospital administration
It was only when there was an uproar after this incident that the hospital administration woke up. PMCH Superintendent Dr. I.S. Thakur considering the seriousness of the matter An investigation team of 4 members Have made it. This includes Heads of Departments (HODs) of Anesthesia, Orthopedics and Pediatrics.
This team will investigate:
- Was the dose of anesthesia really high?
- Why was the senior doctor not there at the time of the operation?
- What is the real reason for the girl’s death?

our point
Friends, giving anesthesia is the most delicate task of medical science. An error of even one milligram can be fatal. If it is really negligence, then strict action should be taken against those responsible so that this does not happen with any other ‘Avantika’ in future.
