In a strong move against medical negligence, the Malda district administration has imposed a penalty of Rs 5 lakh on Khwaza Baba Nursing Home in Kaliachak and recommended suspension or cancellation of its clinical establishment license. The action follows the tragic deaths of a mother and her newborn son, allegedly due to gross lapses in medical care. Mizan Sheikh, a resident of Jharkhand, alleged that on June 12, while trying to admit his pregnant wife, Phultusi Khatun, to Malda Medical College and Hospital (MMCH), an ambulance driver misled them and took them to Khwaza Baba Nursing Home in Kaliachak. “Without conducting proper medical tests, they performed a C-section at night,” said Sheikh.
