Malkangiri, May 10: A case of bribery has come to fore at the DHH here. A Bonda woman had to allegedly bribe a doctor to get her delivery done and if she hadn’t given the money, the doctor had threatened to stop her medicines. The woman’s husband filed a complaint based on which he doctor has been shifted from the hospital and posted to the office of the CDMO.
The doctor named Dr Nirmal Kumar Nayak allegedly had demanded Rs 5,000 from Sisha Nayak, the woman’s husband for his wife’s delivery. The woman was brought the hospital upon her complaint to be suffering from severe labour pain. Alhough Sisha Nayak said that he is unable to pay this huge amount, he somehow arranged Rs 2,000 and promised the doctor to pay the remaining amount later. Upon the promise, Dr Nayak conducted a caesarean following Nayak’s wife gave birth to two babies. Later, Shisha filed the complaint to the CDMO. The CDMO had confirmed of getting a written complaint and assured appropriate action after an inquiry.
