A five-year-old child was mistakenly given a rabies vaccine at Shahrasti Upazila Health Complex in Chandpur after being taken there for treatment of a fever. The incident has created concern and anger among local people and raised new questions about the quality of public healthcare services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the child\u2019s father, Emran Hossain, he took his child to the hospital expecting basic treatment for fever. At the same time, another patient who had been bitten by a dog was present in the emergency department. Although the doctor wrote separate prescriptions for both patients, the on-duty Sub-Assistant Community Medical Officer allegedly gave the rabies vaccine to the child without checking the prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mistake was later noticed by the child\u2019s family, which led to an argument at the hospital. The health worker reportedly admitted that the incident happened \u201cby mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The child\u2019s family expressed serious concern, saying that giving an unnecessary vaccine to a child is a major act of negligence and could pose health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hospital authorities have not yet given any detailed official statement. However, many people are demanding an investigation and proper action against those responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Health experts say that giving any medicine or vaccine without checking the prescription is a serious professional mistake. Such incidents can create unnecessary risks for patients and reduce public trust in the healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analysts say this is not just a single mistake, but a sign of bigger problems such as lack of training, weak supervision, and poor accountability in local healthcare services. They stress the need for strong steps to prevent such incidents in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Shahrasti incident shows the urgent need to ensure discipline and responsibility in the healthcare system. Experts believe that better monitoring and accountability are necessary to stop such mistakes from happening again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
