MP: Roof Of Operation Theatre Falls On Nurse Preparing For Surgery In Raisen Govt Hospital

Raisen (Madhya Pradesh): A nurse was injured after a portion of the operation theatre's roof fell on her head at a government hospital in Raisen, said the officials on Thursday. She sustained head injuries and was admitted to the same hospital.

Resident Medical Officer Vinod Singh Parmar said that the incident took place on Wednesday, when the 32-year-old nursing officer, Mamta Bathery, was making arrangements for an operation at the district hospital. She received a head injury and was admitted to the district hospital itself. Her computed tomography (CT) head scan was conducted. She is out of danger and her condition is stable, he said.

The official said they have written letters to the MP Public Works Department (PWD) to hand over the hospital's new building to them so that the operation theatre can be shifted there.

"As soon as we get the new building, that was built more than one year ago but needs some finishing touches, we will move into it and the OT will also be shifted there," he added. PWD's project implementation unit divisional engineer Suresh Kumar Mishra said the new building will be handed over to the hospital within 10 days, adding that an order in this connection regard had been issued to the building contractor.
