Firozabad. At 11.30 am. A woman wearing a long veil was standing in the queue of patients at the Shakeela Naeem Health Center in Firozabad. Got the prescription made and went to the doctor and said, I am SDM Sadar IAS Kritiraj. This created panic among the employees. Half of the medicines and injections kept in stock were found expired. The employees signing the attendance register were missing.
SDM arrived for confidential inspection
Dog bite injection (ambi rabies vaccine) is administered at this health center in Firozabad. The administration was receiving complaints of misbehavior with the patients by the doctors and staff posted at the centre. On Tuesday morning the SDM was coming to the tehsil from the district headquarters. Then the patient called and informed that the doctor has not yet come to Shakeela Naeem Health Center. She came to conduct a confidential inspection of the health centre.
She removed the veil from her scarf and reached there on foot. Like normal patients, they stood in line and got the prescription made in a different name. Then she also stood in line to see the doctor. During this period, he did not like the doctor’s behavior towards his patients. There was a lot of chaos also. When his turn came and he introduced himself to Dr. Shadab Khan, there was chaos there.
