Civil Hospital Ahmedabad — Unavailability of Doctor in the Kids Emergency Department at 1200 Bed Civil Hospital

Subject: Complaint Regarding Unavailability of Doctor in the Kids Emergency Department at 1200 Bed Civil Hospital

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue regarding the unavailability of a doctor in the Kids Emergency Department at the 1200 Bed Civil Hospital. This concern has been causing severe inconvenience and potential harm to the young patients in need o[censored]rgent medical attention.

On 8th August 2023, I visited the Kids Emergency Department with my daughter, Shivanshi, who was suffering from Severe Stomach Ache, Fever & constant vomiting . To my utter disbelief, there was no doctor present in the department to attend to the numerous children who were in distress and need of immediate medical assistance. This situation prevailed for a considerable amount of time, leading to undue delay in medical assessment and treatment.

The absence of a doctor in such a critical department, which deals specifically with pediatric emergencies, is unacceptable and puts the lives of innocent children at risk. It is o[censored]tmost importance to ensure the presence of qualified medical professionals who specialize in pediatric care in this department at all times, as children's health can deteriorate rapidly and require immediate intervention.

I understand that medical emergencies can be unpredictable, but it is the duty of the hospital administration to ensure the availability of adequate staff to address such situations effectively. The lack of proper arrangements and supervision has resulted in an alarming situation that demands immediate attention and rectification.

I kindly request you to take prompt and strict action to address this issue. It is crucial to implement measures that ensure the continual presence of doctors in the Kids Emergency Department. Additionally, I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the reasons behind this lapse and take necessary steps to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

The safety and well-being of the children should always be the top priority. I trust that you will treat this matter with utmost seriousness and take appropriate remedial actions to provide the necessary medical care that the young patients in the 1200 Bed Civil Hospital deserve.

I await your prompt response and expect immediate action to rectify this grave issue.

Yours faithfully,

Vikas Dubey
