Activist demands Judicial Probe into the death of Female Covid Patient
who died because of the denial of admission in GMC, Level -1, referal institute

Jammu, August 06 (Scoop News)- S Balvinder Singh Social Activist along with other civil socioety members S. Majit Singh, S Manmohan Singh, Sh Ayaz Ahmad Khan & Sh Mahesh Kotwal while interacting with the media shared a recent case of gross neglect of the Covid Managementy has been observed when a 42 years old lady Sunita Devi from Sunetar Ramnagar was admitted to American Oncology at Batra Hospital. She was operated upon but later, along with three other patients from different localities detected corona positive and day by her situation started deterioting. The three patients who were asympotomatic were discharged from the Americanm Oncology Hospital for home qurantine. But Sunita Devi was not provided the required medical facilities like ICU despite the fact that Oncology Hospital Authorities contacted Director Health Jammu, CMO Jammu, Superintendent GMC, Deputy Commissiiner Jammu, Raj Bhawan Jammu etc for shifting of the patient to GMC, which is the only one designated Covid Level 1 hospital in Jmmu City, as she was in dire need of ICU care so that her precious life could be saved. Dr who was unit Head Oncology Unit of American Oncologyu Hospital, wrote number of mails dated 29th July, 30th July, 3rd August, 4rth August to all above mentioned Officers but sorry to say non of them think it proper either to admit the patient in GMC nor responded the mails, which finally resulted in the death of the patient on 5th Augiust . So all present in the Present conference demanded Judicial probe into the whole incident so that responsibility can be fixed and such perspon has no right to stay on these responsible posts, especially in the hour of covid crises.
Singh further stated that this is our humble request to the authorities to look into the matter of referal of covid-19 positive pregnant patient at the time of their delivery. It has come to the notice of all that two pregnant patioents hjave deliver their babies in the ambulance, since one week on their refral.
First case was reffered from Ramban and patient delivered in Ambulance at Samroli and delivery was conducted by the paramedic in the ambulance.
Singh narrated another breath holding incident which has happened two days back when the pregnant patient was reffered from Rajouri to Jammu but patient delivered at Sunderbani on way to Govt. Gandhi Nagar Hospita Jammul. It is pertiment to mention that Govt Hospital Gandhi Nagar Jammu has been only hospital designated to handle the COVIC-19 positive patioents at time of their delivery.
This was brought the whole administration at corner to designate only one hospital for this purppose in Jammu Province.
Balvinder question the administration what is the role of peripheral Distt Hospital and three newly opened Govt. Medical Colleges at Rajouri, Doda and Kathua when they can’t handle these patients at the time of delivery.
These COVID-19 pregnant patients have to travel the distance of more than 250 kilometers for their delivery which is unaaceptable morally and on humantarian grounds. When Govt. is claiming the adequate supply of PPE kits and Masks in peripheral hospital to meet any eventuality in Pheripheral hospitals.
Atlest COVID Positive emergency cases like Trauma and delivery should be dealt at their respective Distt. Hospitals or near by Medical Colleges of Rajouri, Doda & Kathua. It becomes the moral duty of the Govt. to save presious lives at the time of delivery. Then only the Slogan of “BETI BACHAO “ shall be prevail.
