A delegation from the Tripura Human Rights Commission (THRC) led by Chairman Justice Arindam Lodh paid a surprise visit to GB Pant Hospital following a news report on alleged medical negligence.
The report, published in a vernacular daily, highlighted the case of a 54-year-old man, Madan Das, who was found lying unattended outside the Trauma Center and later died due to a lack of timely care.
The THRC team, which included Member Secretary Udit Choudhuri, DSP Lalhim Molsom, and Office Superintendent Ratan Biswas, verified the report on-site.
The team interacted with Dr. Sankar Chakraborty, Medical Superintendent of the hospital, and senior doctors, including Dr. Kanak Choudhury.
A meeting followed, involving officials from AGMC, PWD, and other concerned departments. The Commission emphasized the need for strict instructions to hospital staff on attending to destitute or unattended patients.
