Social Worker Rasheed Requests Chief Secretary to Provide Health Care Assistance to Remaining Students at Home
Port Blair, Sept. 30: On 16th Sept. 2022 many students of Model Sr. Sec. School, Port Blair studying in Middle and Secondary level had complained of severe pain and acute headache with vomiting tendency after some mass drug (suspected) was administered to them in school. The students were rushed to the GB Pant Hospital for immediate medical check-up and treatment. After a day of observation, all the students were discharged from hospital declaring them perfect and cured from the illness.
Later on 28th Sept. 2022, the condition of one among the many affected students deteriorated and the child was rushed to the GB Pant Hospital. Unfortunately, during the course of treatment, the student lost her life. The demise of the child in GB Pant Hospital has created havoc among the general public especially the parents of the affected children. The havoc was such that the parents of the such students are hesitant to take their children to the GB Pant Hospital in spite of the children complaining of symptoms.
On this, Shri M.P. Abdul Rasheed, Director Ration Rasheed Foundation has invited the attention of the Chief Secretary, A&N Administration requesting to make arrangements to provide proper health care assistance to the remaining children at their home, since the parents are in a state of shock and are not willing to take their children to the hospital, fearing some untoward to happen.
