Hathras Father Threatens Self-Immolation, Alleges Daughter Denied Treatment for Three Days

Questions have once again been raised over the healthcare facilities at Bagla District Hospital in Hathras after a father, who has been taking his daughter to the hospital for three days for treatment, warned that he would set himself on fire if she did not receive proper medical care.

Sunherilal, a resident of Naveepur Khurd, has accused the hospital administration of serious negligence. He said his daughter has been suffering from unbearable stomach pain, but even after three days, she has not received the appropriate treatment.

According to the distressed father, his daughter’s condition has remained serious. The child has been unable to eat for the past three days because of the severe pain in her stomach. Concerned about her condition, Sunherilal has been taking her to the outpatient department of Bagla District Hospital continuously for three days.

He alleged that each time, they were sent back without proper treatment. The repeated visits without adequate medical care have increased the family’s concern about the child’s condition.

Father’s anger over the lack of treatment

Sunherilal expressed anger over the hospital’s arrangements after his daughter allegedly failed to receive treatment for three days. He warned that if proper treatment for his daughter was not started soon, he would be forced to set himself on fire.

The warning has raised serious questions about the functioning of the hospital administration and the healthcare facilities being provided to patients at Bagla District Hospital. The father’s allegation is that despite bringing his daughter to the hospital’s OPD for three consecutive days, the family has not received the treatment they say she needs.

The issue has also drawn attention to the condition of the child, who has been dealing with severe stomach pain and has not been able to eat for three days. Sunherilal said he has continued visiting the hospital because of his daughter’s worsening condition.

It remains to be seen what steps the hospital administration takes in the matter and whether the affected child receives timely and proper treatment.
