The baby was brought to the SCB Medical College Hospital, Cuttack within hours of the canine attack. She was sent back to Anandpur Hospital after three days but had to be rushed back to the SCB Medical College Hospital once again on the September 29 following complications. The parents of the baby had blamed the Anandpur hospital authorities for the mishap and there were demands for a high-level probe into the matter. However no action has been taken on anyone in this regard. On the other hand the Anandpur Hospital authorities had said that the baby was at the disposal of her mother, who had been discharged after delivery, and it was her responsibility to guard the baby. They had also expressed helplessness over the presence of stray dogs inside the hospital campus because there were no boundary walls. -- Fight captive Jumbo abuse, end Elephant Polo http://www.stopelephantpolo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
