Srinagar, 24-Jan:A private nursing home established in the town of Pulwama has refused to perform surgery on a golden card, during which the parent including the patient, had to return disappointed. Meanwhile, the relatives of the patient demanded from the administration to take action against the nursing home.
As per reports, the management of Mohammadia Nursing Home in Pulwama has refused to perform surgery on Golden Card in the hospital.
A citizen namely Mohammad Asif Pandit from Karmabad Pulwama said that he admitted his four-year-old child for plastic surgery at District Hospital Pulwama, However, doctor told him that his young age child will not be able to bear anaesthesia in district hospital. Accordingly, he consulted the doctor in nursing home, who took the responsibility of anaesthesia.
According to the exact advice of the doctor, the child was scheduled to undergo plastic surgery at nursing home, but the management of the hospital disappointed him by saying that they can perform this surgery for a cash amount of 24,000 and opposed to perform the same on a golden card.
“Despite making them understand 1000 times, the management denied to perform the same surgery of my child and i had to return disappointed”,Asif said.
In this regard, when CNS contacted, Mohammadia Nursing Home Gangoo, they said that this kind of surgery is not registered on the surgical portal of the hospital so this surgery can be performed on cash only.
From the report of CNS, a controversy arose here, where despite the facilities in DH Pulwama, the operation of the innocent child was not done here and later, the surgery was denied at Mohammadia Nursing Home for Golden Card.
Meanwhile, the citizens have demanded the District Development Commissioner Pulwama to make the hospital administrators accountable in this regard so that the people living below the poverty level do not face difficulties in the future.(CNS)
