Ayush Singh from Jhiriya alleges that after being bitten by a dog, the staff at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Rewa administered a snake‑bite injection instead of the anti‑rabies dose.
Ayush Singh, a resident of Jhiriya village in Madhya Pradesh, reported that he visited Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Rewa after a dog bite. He says the medical team administered an injection meant for snake‑bite treatment rather than the standard anti‑rabies prophylaxis.
The incident has sparked another allegation of negligence at the hospital, which has faced criticism in recent weeks over its handling of post‑exposure treatments. Singh’s claim highlights concerns about procedural lapses in emergency care.
Hospital officials have not yet released an official statement regarding the specific case. The local health authorities are expected to investigate the matter to determine whether protocol was breached and to ensure appropriate corrective measures.
If verified, the error could expose the patient to unnecessary health risks and underscores the need for stricter adherence to treatment guidelines for animal‑bite victims.
The case adds to growing public scrutiny of medical practices in the region, prompting calls for better training and oversight of emergency staff.
