Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian had denied medical negligence on the part of the doctors or staff.
The parents of an 18-month-old boy whose right arm was amputated allegedly due to medical negligence at a state-run facility in Chennai, on Tuesday demanded justice for their son.
Thasthakir Meera and Azeesa, the parents of the boy whose arm was surgically removed on July 2, said apart from the agony of seeing their son with one hand, they were anguished at being accused of taking the issue of medical lapse to the media for personal gains.
"We admitted our son at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) on June 25 to be treated for fluid collection in his brain. Both his arms were in good condition then. But we are now seeing him with one arm," misty-eyed Azeesa said.
"Instead of addressing the problem, we are being accused of seeking publicity for personal gains," her husband Thasthakir told reporters after the couple attended an inquiry by a high-level panel probing the issue of medical negligence.
