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.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
