BHARATPUR, JUL 13 - Staffers of BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital have brought the entire hospital services, except the emergency, to a grinding halt on Friday after the relatives of one of the patients assaulted a staff nurse following a patient’s death.
The health workers at the hospital have been staging a sit-in at the Chitwan District Administration Office demanding their security.
Former DSP of Armed Police Force Bir Bahadur Chand, who went berserk following the death of her daughter, had assaulted staff nurse Anita Bhusal.
Chand's daughter Barsha, 14, a patient of blood cancer, died last night while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
According to eyewitnesses, Chand hit Bhusal on her face accusing her of giving over-dose medicine. Bhusal sustained injuries in the attack.
"The patient was not in condition of recovery," said Dr Krishna Sagar Sharma.
He further said, the doctors had suggested the former DSP to shift her daughter in ICU, but he did not respond.
The doctor claimed the patient was given regular dose of medicine as the regular routine.
