At least four persons lost their eyesight, while the vision of 19 others was critically affected after alleged botched-up surgeries by doctors at a cataract check-up camp in Maharashtra's Washim district, a senior health official said today.
Washim's civil surgeon and the doctor who performed surgeries on the patients have been suspended in view of the botch-up while suspension has also been recommended of a doctor at Akola Medical College, the state health department official said. "On October 31, we got reports of surgery botch-up at the Washim cataract check-up camp and subsequent negligence at the Akola Medical College," he said.
"The health department officials immediately swung into action and shifted 22 patients from Washim and Akola to Mumbai's J J Hospital, where all efforts are being made to restore their eye-sight under the supervision of world class ophthalmologists," he said.
