The Ministry of Health is looking into an allegation that there was no doctor to attend cases at the Children’s Ward at the CWM Hospital yesterday.
A parent raised this concern after she took her 6-year-old son to the hospital as he had a bad fever.
Rina Raj said she went to the hospital at 9am and waited for four hours to be seen by the doctor.
Raj said when she went to ask the nurse about the doctor at 1pm, she was informed that they have to wait for at least two more hours.
She added that an announcement was made later that the nurses and doctors are to attend a lecture.
Raj said she had to take her son to the private doctor.
Assistant Health Minister Veena Bhatnagar said she will talk to the doctors and the relevant authorities on why the doctor was not there.
