Child's death at Barasat hospital: Authority issues show-cause notice
"This was a very sad and unfortunate incident. After preliminary investigation, we have come to know that few hospital-staffers' negligence was responsible for the child's death. We have issued show-cause notice already and necessary steps will be taken," one senior health official of Barasat State General Hospital told IBNS.
A child- Soheni Sultana- died on Wednesday in the government-owned Barasat hospital in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district as a free-ambulance's (Nischay Yan) driver allegedly haggled with her family members for fare charges and additional tips.
Besides hospital authority, police are also investigating the matter. The accused ambulance-driver is still absconding, reports said.
