The child had been admitted to Life Line Hospital after it contracted some illness. After her condition did not improve, she was referred to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH).
The child passed away while undergoing treatment at the SMCH. The family of the deceased child asked the doctors at Life Line Hospital to explain the reason behind her death.
The mother of the child said, “Our baby was suffering from diarrhoea. We brought her here and the doctor prescribed a medicine. However, her condition did not improve. After that, the doctor told us that it is normal for a small child and will get better soon.”
“At night when the doctor administered an injection, our baby started shivering and crying immediately. They were not referring her to a better hospital so we forcefully got her referred to SMCH. There doctors told us that her brain was affected due to the injection. She died there,” added the mother.
