Tension arose last week at a government-sponsored tubectomy camp in Khat village, 40 km outside of Nagpur, when the surgeon gave anesthesia to four women in a makeshift operating theatre, then left for a lengthy tea break, leaving them sedated and unsupervised for at least four hours.
According to reports, the doctor made his way back where the camp was set up at around 7pm, following the notification of district officials by uneasy villagers, who then called for the surgeon, Dr Bhalavi.
The physician was assigned to the camp, which is 50 kilometers away, and is connected to a small hospital in Parseoni.
An investigation team visited the PHC at Mouda tehsil on Tuesday and took staff and surgeon statements.
It was claimed that the surgeon went out for tea following a hypoglycemic episode and that he is diabetic.
According to the locals, the doctor seemed uneasy and left the patients behind, driving off to Nagpur.
According to Khat resident Tushar Kunjekar, “the surgeon left at 2.30pm and returned at night to complete the operations.”
On November 3, eight procedures, including seven tubectomies and one vasectomy, were planned for the camp. The primary family planning program of the Central government is regularly held at PHCs by the public health department.
