AN FIR has been lodged against Additional Chief Medical Officer (ACMO) Auraiyya district K.K. Srivastava who conducted the shocking cataract surgeries on 32 patients under torchlights at the Community Health Centre (CHC) Nawabganj in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh.
On the direction of the Yogi Adityanath government, Atul Mishra, a senior officer of the health department, has lodged an FIR against Dr K.K. Srivastava and others and also against the NGO on whose behalf these surgeries were conducted free of cost at the Nawabganj police station in Unnao on Wednesday. Dr Srivastava is yet to be arrested.
Preliminary enquiry revealed that Dr Srivastava used the name of Dr Nutan Saxena to conduct cataract operations on behalf of her wife NGO’s Jai Jagdamba Sewa Samiti free of cost. Who allowed Dr Srivastava to perform these surgeries and who were the other two surgeons assisted him during operations under torchlights is being investigated.
After the gross medical negligence, the Health Minister Dr Siddharth Nath Singh had suspended the Nawabganj CHC Incharge Dr Dinesh Dass and shunted the Unnao CMO Dr Rajendra Prasad.
A two-member committee, comprising Joint Magistrate Manish Bansal and ACMO Unnao Dr R.K. Gautam, has been formed by the Yogi Adityanath government to probe the incident and recommend action against those responsible for the medical negligence.
Dr Srivastava along with two other surgeons performed cataract operations on 32 patients on Monday under torchlights when there was no light at the CHC Nawabganj. After the surgeries, patients were forced to lie down on floors in chilling cold.
Ironically, the five-bed CHC Nawabganj is not equipped with the eye surgeries and there were no availability of intraocular lenses (OPL) at the CHC. The CHC has a generator but it was inoperative. Many of them had complained of severe itching and burning sensation in their eyes. They were provided no antibiotics, eye drops or other medicines either after the surgery by the NGO. The District Magistrate Unnao Ravi Kumar had rushed a team of doctors from Unnao to Nawabganj to attend them. A few were later shifted to Unnao and Kanpur district hospitals for further check up.
