'No heart doctor despite repeated assembly requests,’ says UP BJP MLA after hospital death
MLA Vinod Shankar Awasthi admits specialist shortage as woman dies during delivery at UP health cent
Lakhimpur Kheri: BJP MLA Vinod Shankar Awasthi said that no heart specialist has been posted in the district despite repeated requests raised in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, as he addressed public anger following the death of a woman during delivery at a primary health centre in Lakhimpur Kheri.
A video of the MLA making the statement has gone viral on social media. In the clip, he is heard telling people that all public representatives from the district have raised the issue several times in the Assembly, but no heart doctor has been appointed so far. The authenticity of the viral video has not been independently verified.
The incident occurred on Tuesday at the Isanagar Primary Health Centre. A woman brought to the hospital for delivery died, triggering protests by her family and local residents over alleged negligence and poor medical facilities. The MLA reached the centre after being informed about the unrest.
According to officials, Ram Kishun, a resident of Shivpur village, brought his forty-year-old wife Ramawati to the health centre. She delivered the baby inside the ambulance. The delivery was conducted by the on-duty ANM, Usha.
The ANM stated that the woman was suffering from severe anaemia and was referred to the district hospital after delivery. However, the family alleged that when they reached the health centre, no doctor or nurse was present and that medical staff arrived after a delay of around thirty minutes.
The family also alleged negligence in treatment, claiming that medicines and injections were prescribed from outside and administered only after they were purchased. They further claimed that ambulance services were unresponsive for a significant period.
Hospital doctor Akhtar Alam said the patient was referred immediately after her critical condition was assessed. Following reports of protests, Isanagar PHC superintendent Amit Singh and SHO Nirmal Tiwari reached the spot along with police personnel.
MLA Vinod Shankar Awasthi later directed senior officials to take immediate action, including suspension of the medical officer on duty and other staff found responsible for negligence.
