Nurse uses ‘Fevi Kwik’ instead of stitches on injured seven-year-old boy in Haveri District
Haveri: In a shocking case of alleged medical negligence, a nurse at Adoor Primary Health Center in Hanagal taluk, Haveri district, reportedly used ‘Fevi Kwik’ adhesive instead of stitches to treat a wound on a seven-year-old boy.
The incident, which took place on January 14, came to light after the child’s family raised concerns and recorded a video of the treatment.
The boy, identified as Gurukishan Annappa Hosamani, sustained a cheek injury while playing. His family rushed him to the nearest health center for treatment. However, instead of stitching the wound, nurse Jyoti allegedly applied ‘Fevi Kwik’glue to close it, claiming it would prevent scarring.

When questioned by the boy’s family, the nurse reportedly defended her action, stating, "I treated the wound to the best of my knowledge. Stitches would have left a mark on his cheek, so I used ‘Fevi Kwik’only on the skin."
Disturbed by the response, the family recorded the incident on their mobile phones and filed a formal complaint with the Adoor Primary Health Center's Health Protection Committee. Following the complaint, District Health Officer (DHO) Rajesh Suragiha has initiated an inquiry and sought a detailed report on the matter.
