According to NBMCH superintendent Dr Sanjay Mallik, seven children suffering from acute respiratory infection (ARI) had been admitted in the paediatric ward.
"We came to know that many senior doctors were not present, and this led to the death of many patients, including children. It is very unfortunate that this has happened at the principal health institute of north Bengal. The Covid pandemic situation prevails, and under such circumstances, how could some doctors not be available for the treatment of the patients?"
It may be recalled that 101 deaths had been registered from Panchami (a day before Sasthi) to Dasami last year, and 103 patients had allegedly died in 2019, and 73 people died there between Sasthi and Dasami in 2018. At least 51 patients had died here during the puja in 2013.
Dr Mallik claimed that the roster was prepared in a planned manner so that there should not be any problems for patients, and that adequate number of doctors as per the strength could attend to patients during the Puja days. The state government had cancelled the leave of doctors during the coronavirus pandemic last year.
