A child named Rokeya Khatun Jannat (5) is fighting with death due to wrong treatment at Sun Healthcare Foundation Hospital located in Alipur, Shayestaganj Upazila of Habiganj district. She has been admitted to the Dhaka Sheikh Hasina Burn Unit of the hospital.

The child’s father, MD Mamun, son of Abdus Shahid Khan of Bishaura village of the upazila, is filing a written complaint with the Deputy Commissioner of Habiganj, seeking redress in this regard.

The complaint states that Jannat was burnt in a current stove in her house on September 26. Her right hand and various parts of her body were burnt. Hearing her screams, the people in the house quickly took her to a hospital named Sun Healthcare Foundation located in Alipur. The hospital director there, Dr. Md. Sayem, said that this private hospital would provide good treatment. The child’s father admitted him there in good faith. After 3 days of admission, the patient was discharged. After that, the hospital authorities asked Jannat to dress him every day. As per the rules, his father dressed the child every day.

After six days, Dr. Sayem said that the patient’s condition was critical and he had to be taken to Dhaka immediately. Later, Shishu Jannat was admitted to the Sheikh Hasina Burn Unit in Dhaka. From October 3 to October 24, he was treated under the supervision of Professor Dr. Tanvir Ahmed. The doctor said that the child’s right hand had to be amputated due to wrong treatment. The hand was saved because he was quickly taken to the burn unit.

The extremely poor MD Mamun said, I have applied to the District Commissioner in the hope of justice, I have spent about 1.5 lakh taka with interest due to the wrong treatment at Sun Healthcare Foundation Hospital, the doctor says that more money will be needed.
Another source said that medical services are provided by incompetent doctors at Alipore Sun Healthcare Foundation Hospital. As a result, such wrong treatment and maltreatment are constantly happening. As a result, many people are dying with disabilities.
