A five-year-old boy allegedly died outside a Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur due to a delay in his treatment.
While the family of the boy, Rishi Pandre, claimed that there were no doctors outside the hospital to attend to the boy who was in a critical state, the district administration said that he was already dead by the time he was taken there.
Prem Kumar, the maternal uncle of the boy, told journalists that the boy resides in Tinheta and from there, he was taken to the Bargi PHC as he was not keeping well. “But there were no arrangements. His health worsened and later he died,” said Mr. Kumar.
